If NewsForge, SourceWire and Linux PR report about it, it must be true: I’m now officially “Vice President of Open Source Community Relations”.
I’m happy to notice the news got picked up by many sites, such as the International PHP Magazine, as well as by Toolinux in French.
The official press release on my appointment and the one on MySQL 5.0 Release Candidate seem to have found its way to plenty of places. Less than two months ago, googling for “Kaj Arnö” gave 631 hits, when it today gave me 12,800 hits. A growth of 1928 % in two months would normally be something to remember to tell the grandchildren about, but I suspect Google improved its search coverage at the same time, and I am sure a lot of the 12,800 are headlines in pages from which I will disappear as soon as I appeared there.
OK, that’s enough of narcissism for a while.
And thanks to everyone who has sent me congratulations!

Dear MySQL Developers,
I have just released a new open source tool called NextLevel, which
can be used to analyze SQL code in stored procedures and triggers.
I am using this tool on a large Sybase ASE database on a daily base
and it appears to work quit reliable for me.
I would like to invite everyone using a MySQL database with a large
number of triggers and stored procedures to review my tool and give
me feedback as to whether NextLevel is a useful application for MySQL
5.0 or not. I expect there will be differences and special cases NextLevel
does not cover, yet. I’d like to see what these situations are and whether
NextLevel can adjust for these things.
If, for example, anyone could donate MySQL 5.0 compliant code for the
definition of triggers and procedures (which does not have to be working
code) this would be great for a start. Please contact me if you are
interested in working with me towards creating another useful tool
for MySQL.
