On Monday, March 10th, Sun makes a stop in Boston on its world tour of “Mashup Meetups”. If you can’t make it in person, join us on the live ustream videocast. We will have Sun and MySQL employees present, and there will be a short (30 min max) presentation on “What is Cluster Good For?”. We will try to broadcast live on ustream.tv if possible.
Welcome the the 87th of Log Buffer, the weekly review of database blogs.
I have been a MySQL DBA at The Pythian Group for three months (and 2 days) now. At most companies that is the probationary period, and I am still here, so that is a good sign….. So, after three months, how do I like it? Glad you asked!
Courtesy of our friends at Oracle cost containment company Miro Consulting, I am giving a webinar tomorrow at 1pm EST (click this link for the time in other timezones please. The subject I’ve chosen is how to apply the best practices around advanced supply management that are extremely successful and mature in the product supply chain world to the equally extremely immature practices we typically find in enterprise IT supply provisioning. It should be a great presentation; I give an overview of the famous “Toyota Way” and cover some recent findings from the California Management Review as well. Keep reading for a full overview.
Welcome to the 86th edition of Log Buffer, the weekly review of database blogs. Let’s jump right in.
The March 2008 Boston MySQL User Group meeting will have a *brief* workshop on what types of applications are good for applying MySQL Cluster technology. This is a stop on the Sun/MySQL mashup world tour, so don’t miss out on plenty of swag. That’s right, food, folks, fun and free stuff! We will be meeting on MIT campus, close to Kendall Square on the Red Line (subway). There is plenty of free parking. For more information read this post.

Someone asked me what applications were good/bad for MySQL Cluster. As I’ve now actually had experience with a Cluster setup and a real-life application of it, and dug through the manual, I present a few characteristics of applications that will work with Cluster, and why they are so. if you have an application that meets some of the characteristics you can decide whether it’s worth it to use Cluster or not.
A company has come up with a vendor-neutral database certification exam. Some are wondering how much use this will be, as it doesn’t go into vendor-specificities. For me, it will be interesting to see if companies value a vendor-neutral database certification as they would a degree. It seems to cover the same topics, at least from my standpoint.
