Welcome to the 156th edition of Log Buffer, the weekly review of database blogs.
Here are all the videos from the 2009 MySQL Conference and 2009 MySQL Camp:
At the May 2009 Boston MySQL User Group, Giuseppe Maxia of Sun Microsystems gave a presentation about MySQL 5.4 with use cases and benchmarks to show how it outperforms all other current MySQL releases (including the Google patches and the OurDelta/Percona releases). Links to the slides and video can be found here.
At the July MySQL User Group, Eric Day and Patrick Galbraith spoke about Drizzle, a lightweight, microkernel, open source database for high-performance scale-out applications, and Gearman, an open source, distributed job queuing system. Links to the slides and video can be found here.
