Jocelyn Fournier is this week’s MySQL 5 contest winner

This week’s iPod nano winner is a long-time MySQL community member: Jocelyn Fournier.

Jocelyn is one of most productive beta testers of MySQL ever, and he certainly has not slowed down his path now with MySQL 5.0.

Jocelyn is using MySQL to power a bulletin board “MesDiscussions.Net” (”My Discussions”), which is used by some big French websites. There, he does practical stress testing of MySQL from both a performance and feature standpoint.

Performance-wise, he has more than 2300 simultaneous connections on peak on forum.hardware.fr.

Jocelyn tries to integrate each of the new features MySQL offers in his software to get the best out MySQL, and I’m pleased to quote his comment: “the achieved speed is really amazing :) “.

Merci, Jocelyn!
