Yesterday's keynote panel on "Scaling MySQL -- Up or Out?" Keith Murphy managed to take painstaking notes with all the facts and figures. As well, Venu Anuganti presents a chart with the results as well as notes on the more detailed answers. Ronald Bradford has a brief summary of the 20 seconds of wisdom from each panelist.

Jonathan Schwartz's Keynote at the 2008 MySQL Conference can be played from the embedded video at the bottom of this post or directly at YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpfHnmt1KOc

I finally realized who Jonathan Schwartz reminds me of:

That's right, comedian and magician Penn Jillette.

Well, nobody from Sun showed up in person, but we got a great rendition of "Where were you when you heard THE NEWS that Sun bought MySQL?" from Mark Rubin, the MySQL Sales Engineer for the New England area, and from Giuseppe Maxia, who revealed something very interesting and riveting. From there, Giuseppe gave a short talk on what it's like to work at MySQL, and then we moved on to the topic of the user group meeting, "What is MySQL Cluster Good For?" The slides for the talk are downloadable in PDF Format 61kB and Flash (SWF) format, 31kB The video can be played at http://technocation.org/node/572/play and downloaded (404 Mb) at http://technocation.org/node/572/download

Just a note so folks at the conference can download them whenever they want. Folks not at the conference can, too but the slides don't give away the whole talk so I don't know how useful they're going to be.....

Patrick Galbraith, former MySQL employee who helped write replication, came to the November 2007 Boston MySQL User Group and did a fantastic presentation on replication, including showing how to set up replication and walking us through the steps in real-time, setting up an example server.

Giuseppe Maxia's article about federated tables -- I think that's the right one, feel free to comment if it's not.

This article and video has been moved to a different location.

I have finally managed to watch and slightly edit the September 2007 Boston MySQL User Group presentation I did on the MySQL Proxy.

It's geared towards beginners, and has lots of examples, including explaining some of the examples that come bundled with the MySQL Proxy.

Video on YouTube.

Enjoy!
