Ok, I am pimping my own blog post, not because it is particularily great, but because I would love some feedback so that my next blog post on the topic can be better :)

Stepping outside the mainstream box. These are reasonable old, however I doubt they will have made the log buffer.

Paul McCullagh has released a new version of the PBXT storage engine for MySQL, along with a version of the MySQL server that does blob streaming and a modified Connector/J that's streaming-enabled. My own contribution is a new version of a parallel (aka multi-threaded) dump and restore tool for MySQL.

Great idea Paul! And since I'm up and about at the moment, I'll add one too (and perhaps a couple others later). This is Eddie Awad's item, The Official Oracle Wiki is Here.
