Feedback on upcoming MySQL Online Backup

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

Hi all -

As many of you know, we have a new backup/restore project underway. I’ve just posted the first draft of the functional spec on mysql forge, and would love to get as many eyes on it as possible. Please take a look when you can and shoot me any feedback at rschumacher@mysql.com

Thanks!

New article on partitioning and dates

Monday, July 24th, 2006

Hi all -

Just a quick note to let you know that I’ve posted a new article on how to use MySQL 5.1 partitioning with date-based partition keys. Mikael Ronstrom already put up a nice blog post on this, and I figured I’d follow up with an article on the same subject since we’ve had a number of inquires.

Thanks (as always) for supporting MySQL!

New beta of MySQL Management Tools - with migration support now for Sybase!

Thursday, July 6th, 2006

All -

Just a quick note to let you know that a new beta release is available for all MySQL management tools (Query Browser, Administrator, Migration Toolkit, and Workbench, which is still alpha). You can download the new tools, which sport a single installer now for the entire management tools pack, here.

One great note of interest - for those wishing to migrate from Sybase to MySQL, the Migration Toolkit now has native support for moving between Sybase and MySQL! I tested it this morning and it works like a champ. Versions of Sybase supported are 12.x and higher. Those using 11.9.2 may be OK as well.

Let me know what you think!
