In this session we will build a PHP+MySQL application in NetBeans that uses the Twitter API to find and graph a "meme" in Twitter.

Feeling the pressures of data warehousing? Costs growing non-linearly? Are data growth, ad-hoc queries and near real-time data availability requirements threatening to take your DW system past the event horizon? Let us show you how to create a scalable, open source, low cost data warehouse with MySQL & the Calpont storage engine.

This presentation explores what cloud computing means beyond being a buzz-word and touches upon the various scenarios where MySQL and Pentaho Data Integration (Kettle) can be deployed on a large number of hosts to process data in parallel.

Connector/J has a wealth of under-promoted performance features. Come to this session to learn about bulk data loading, load balancing, batch rewriting and the "reckless but really fast" options that C/J has.

Indexes are known to speed up retrievals, but do you know that sometimes looking at the indexes is sufficient to get the data you need ? This session will help you understand the principles of covering indexes, their benefits and the situations where you should avoid them.

Many of the characteristics that make MySQL so successful also apply to GlassFish and NetBeans. This talk will demonstrate how MySQL, GlassFish, and NetBeans can be used together to create quick and powerful web applications. It shares tips to boost web application development when using all of them together.

DTrace is breakthrough tool for on-demand tracing and analysis of any software. As MySQL internals are open, it is possible to extract incredibly valuable information about database work - without performance overhead or even need to restart a server. This talk covers and merges knowledge and practice from both DTrace and MySQL worlds - and explains why D in DTrace means 'dynamic'.

The InnoDB storage engine has been modified to use memcached as a level 2 cache, the InnoDB buffer pool being the level 1. Important reduction of the disk load and performance boost has been observed. This opens a new way of scaling out MySQL.

This session will give an overview of the new set of static DTrace probes introduced in MySQL 6.0 with examples on how to use them in real-life monitoring and performance tuning tasks.

A tour of External Language Stored Procedures for MySQL and how they overcome the challenges involved when using MySQL's UDFs and SQL stored procedures.

The Falcon Storage Engine is designed to take advantage of multi-core computers. It is reaching GA at a time when computer performance is being increased mostly by adding more cores. Falcon's unique characteristics will be explained and contrasted with InnoDB and other MySQL storage engines.

A case study of the evolution of MySQL usage, as a company moved from a scrappy startup - with the goals of finding a cheap, quick, and simple database solution - to a mature enterprise - with high availability and horizontal scalability as key requirements.

Have a look at how Big Fish Games and thePlatform are using MySQL Enterprise Monitor 2.0 now to help tune and troubleshoot their applications.

Query analysis can help highlight issues in the SQL in your application, but there are many ways of getting that information. Obvious choices are explain and the slow-query log, but newer solutions, such as live query monitoring, mysql proxy and DTrace provide additional benefits.

In a classic case of "eat your own dogfood", MySQL.com is a key player in the beta testing of MySQL software, including Query Analyzer. In this presentation MySQL.com web developer Adam Donnison will take you through how he used Quan to improve database performance on the MySQl.com website by orders of magnitude, and why Quan was needed.

Sheeri K. Cabral, a two-time winner of the MySQL Community Advocate award, passes the baton to the next generation of MySQL Community superheroes -- you! Though you cannot fly or have X-ray vision, Sheeri will explain how you can make a difference in the MySQL Community without writing a single line of code.

This session will highlight some of the architectural specifics of the DB2 Storage Engine as well as discuss uses and benefits of the storage engine.

This session will present the Random Query Generator, a new tool for database workload generation for the purpose of stress testing.

You can run MySQL on a standard server, but there can be benefits to running MySQL within a virtualized environment. You can take advantage of the isolation it provides, or the performance gains possible by running multiple MySQL instances on one large server. This session will show you the benefits and potential issues of running MySQL in a virtualized environment.

This presentation describes InnoDB on-disk file formats, the new file format management, as well as InnoDB source code structure.
