Hi,

Today’s MySQL Weekly Seminar is third one, which theme was “MySQL Storage Engines”.  It seems that almost 80% of attendees are using InnoDB for their system.  However, there are actually more storage engines available for MySQL.  This time, Kajiyama; MySQL Technical Evangelist presented variable storage engines along with tips and examples for how to use them.

First, the seminar started with the introduction of popular MySQL storage engines such as MyISAM, InnoDB and Falcon.  He described architectures and features for each storage engine and what storage engine is appropriate for each application.

Then, it went deeper into storage engines details.  Each engine has specific features.  And third-party storage engines’ unique functions and next-generation transactional storage engine (”Maria”) under development were also introduced.  You can check the MySQL Forge Wiki (http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/Category:StorageEngines) for the status of development of Maria.  Please keep an eye on future MySQL storage engines too!

I hope you got a hint to effectively find a proper storage engine for your system.  Please make the maximum use of MySQL storage engines!

Thank you very much for taking your time to come to the seminar.  The next seminar is the last that MySQL K.K. hosts.  So, we all will look forward to seeing you at the next Weekly Seminar too!

Kazumi
