  • Contributed to PeterZ’s talk at MySQL UC 2006

    Hey, look! Peter mentioned me in his presentation at the UC this year. UC2006-MySQL-Performance-Landscape.pdf I let him use the Sunfire T2000 I borrowed from Sun (which I should return today) to generate some statistics for the talk.

  • Moved blog, took long weekend

    For those of you who want to hear me read this instead of having to do so yourself (no hyperlinks), click here for .ogg and here for .mp3.

Breadsticks, pizza,…

As is common for developers of Open Source software, I am quite familiar with Linux as the Operating System, Apache as the Web Server, MaxDB and…

  • Synchronization Manager: MySQL as replication destination

    Earlier this week, I wrote about the Synchronization Manager and gave a step-by-step tutorial on getting an initial scenario implemented. In this article, I’ll expand on the previous tutorial by introducing the concept of uni-directional synchronization. Uni-directional participants act as destinations for replicated data. These participants are sometimes called “slaves,” because they are not capable…
