One of the most frequently needed functionality in the MySQL Proxy is the need to know which server you are on. This is not given, on purpose, by the proxy, because the proxy is supposed to be transparent. It is not supposed to matter which back-end server you are on.However, for testing purposes we often want to know which back-end server we're on. Thus I developed functionality for "SHOW PROXY BACKEND [INDEX ADDRESS OTHER]"."SHOW PROXY BACKEND INDEX" -- gives t

C++ coding techniques and principles

MySQL coding style. Other coding styles around. How we can improve, and why we need to.

Developing MySQL on Solaris requires you to install a suitable compiler and other tools, but you may be surprised to know that most of the material is there already, or easy to install if it's not. But even more so, there is a huge wealth of information that you can get about your application while it's running, both with and without using more traditional debugging methods. We'll cover setting up a suitable environment, where to find the things you need, and and how to make use of the process monitoring tools and debugging environment to get the best out of development on Solaris generally, and MySQL specifically.

Using, installing and working with MySQL on OpenSolaris. - Note that the video must be downloaded to be able to view it!

Are you starting a new software project? Don't reinvent the wheel. Before committing to some hand made procedure, you should really consider the combination of Bazaar and Launchpad. Handling the source code is not enough. A software project requires planning, defect handling, coordination between bugs and blueprints, a visual roadmap, and all the above in relation to your code branches. Don't forget about mailing lists, FAQ, documentation, which are integral part of a project. Whether you are participating to an existing project or starting a new one, Launchpad and Bazaar are a powerful combination for your productivity.

This session gives an overview about how code contributions to MySQL should be handled and performed. It covers the ideal workflow, requirements and available infrastructure and toolchain that potential contributors should be aware of.

Refactory.org is "A wiki for useful code snippets", and it has a MySQL section.
