MySQL Conference Tracks for the DBA
Friday, February 8th, 2008In some ways, MySQL is a victim of its own success. Because of the focus on reliability, performance, and ease-of-use, MySQL usage continues to grow at a heavy pace. This being the case, the demand for skilled MySQL pro’s has quickly outstripped the current supply. Go to monster and put in ‘mysql’ and you’ll get back thousands of hits. So if you’re wondering whether getting MySQL expertise as a DBA is a good investment, wonder no more.
Without a doubt, one great way to drink in lots of MySQL DBA knowledge is to attend the upcoming MySQL User’s Conference. At this year’s conference, there are more tracks than ever designed to help the DBA get a handle on security, performance tuning, backup and recovery, high-performance schema design, and much more. Plus, you’ll get to see some new tools we’ve been working on to make your DBA life easier, sneak-peek’s at major upcoming features like our new online backup, and some pretty cool things on the data warehousing front. I’ll see about kicking out a DBA tutorial guide for the conference once we get a little closer, but I do want to remind you that early registration savings expires near the end of the month, so sign up soon if you want to save some $$$.
