MySQL User Conference: Peter Gulutzan talks
The MySQL User Conference starts April 20 2009. Please come and see:
New Foreign Keys in 6.1, with Konstantin Osipov and Peter Gulutzan, Wednesday April 22, 15:05. Originally the speaker was going to be Dmitri Lenev, the main developer … but alas, he can’t make it. However, the project lead (Konstantin) and the architect (Peter) constitute the largest pool of expertise on this subject in the whole continent.
Character Sets, with Alexander Barkov and Peter Gulutzan, Wednesday April 22, 20:30. This is a Birds-of-a-Feather get-together, so it’s not a show, just a chance to get together with other people who care about (for example) collation, Unicode, SJIS. Mr Barkov has worked with MySQL for several years and is the team lead for globalization.
Test Drive MySQL 6.1, with Peter Gulutzan and Konstantin Osipov, Thursday April 23, 11:55. This will not be a slide show, it will be an actual demonstration of foreign keys, supplementary Unicode characters, Falcon, BACKUP, EXECUTE IMMEDIATE, Performance Schema, SIGNAL + RESIGNAL, SHA2, the Parameters view, partitioning by string, reduced VARBINARY use, and the Weight_String function. Sorry, only a few minutes per topic.
The “Roadmap Shootout” keynote, originally scheduled for Wednesday morning, is canned.
There will be no “Performance Schema” session, alas, but we still intend to upload the source on Monday April 20, and you’ll catch short glimpses of the feature during the sessions Advanced Query Manipulation with MySQL Proxy or Extending MySQL Enterprise Monitor with Custom Advisors, Graphs, and Data Collections.
Although there are very few presentations by server developers this year, many developers who aren’t presenting are coming anyway. So if you don’t find anything on the schedule, just hang around in the corridors and you’re bound to see some interesting buttonholeable engineer wander along.
