Hints & Tips
Article: Why Move to MySQL from Microsoft SQL Server?
Robin Schumacher
Before we get started, let me say that I always liked being a SQL Server DBA. My database experience started with DB2, then Teradata, followed by Oracle, and then SQL Server (and then a little bit of Sybase after that, followed by MySQL).

PlanetMySQL Blog: Hibernate Wars - The Query Cache Strikes Back
Darren L. Oldag
Not so long ago, in a galaxy not very far away... a middle-aged programmer battled to free memory from the dark side of the hibernate query cache. He was successful, or so it seemed. For the query cache memory problems had risen from the ashes - stronger and more bloated than ever ...

PlanetMySQL Blog: MySQL Sandbox 3.0 Release Candidate
Giuseppe Maxia
MySQL Sandbox is now in Release Candidate status. If no bugs are reported on the latest version (2.0.99f), I will repackage it as 3.0. In addition to the list of features previously announced, I managed to implement another feature that has been in the wish list for a long time, i.e. creating a sandbox from existing binaries, such as the ones installed by a .rpm or .deb package.

PlanetMySQL Blog: Are Stored Procedures available with MySQL Cluster?
Andrew Morgan
The answer is yes - kind of.
Stored procedures are implemented in a MySQL Server and can be used regardless of the storage engine being used for a specific table. One inference from this is that they won't work when accessing the Cluster database directly through the NDB API.

At the morning keynote, my name was called, and I found myself on stage, together with Markus Popp, Roland Bouman, and Rasmus Lerdorf, being awarded a Community Member of the year crystal ball. That day is permanently in my mind as a very fond memory.

Spotlight: MySQL Community Server 5.4
Article: A Quick Look at MySQL 5.4
Robin Schumacher
Although MySQL 5.1 was released in December of 2008, Sun Microsystems isn't wasting any time moving forward with a number of new and exciting enhancements for its next release, MySQL 5.4. The first item of note is that the MySQL Server will be returning to a release early/often paradigm. So, instead of waiting on a full set of previously agreed upon features to be ready, the goal will now be to adhere to time-controlled releases that include all features that are ready by an agreed-upon beta date, with any features not fully 'baked' simply rolling to the next release.
PlanetMySQL BlogPost: MySQL 5.4 Scaling to 16-way x86 and 64-way CMT Servers
Mikael Ronstrom
The release of the MySQL 5.4 contains patches which increases the scalability of the MySQL Server. I am planning to blog about those changes in some detail over the next few days. This blog will give an introduction and show what the overall results we have achieved are.

PlanetMySQL BlogPost: MySQL 5.4 performance with logging
Giuseppe Maxia
About a month ago, I published the results of MySQL 5.x performance with logging. The results covered several versions, from 5.0.45 to 5.1.33. Among the conclusions of the post was the consideration that MySQL 5.0.x is faster than MySQL 5.1 in read only operations. I hinted that better results may come for MySQL 5.1. When I wrote that post I had, in fact, an ace up my sleeve, because I had already benchmarked the performance of MySQL 5.4, using the same criteria shown in my previous post.

PlanetMySQL BlogPost: Looking at MySQL 5.4 - IO bound benchmarks
Vadim Tkachenko
With a lot of talks around 5.4 I decided to check how it works in our benchmarks. For first shoot I took tpcc-like IO-bound benchmark (100W, ~10GB of data, 3GB buffer_pool) and tested it on our Dell PowerEdge R900 box (16 cores, 32GB of RAM, RAID 10 on 8 SAS 2.5" 15K RPM disks). For comparison I took XtraDB-release5 and 5.0.77-highperf percona release.
