What is Enterprise-Class?

A new Webinar about EnterpriseDB (not from me). Building a Highly Available Infrastructure for Your Database and Application.

It’s next wednesday, September 26, 2007 at 9am and 2pm Eastern. I guess it repeats. It’s an hour long.

Here’s the blurb from the email I received:

What does an hour of downtime cost you? Analysts report that just one hour of downtime can cost businesses millions of dollars, and some never recover.

What applications are mission critical today? In the past, only those applications that controlled finances were considered mission-critical.

Read Partitioning In MySQL, Part 1 before reading this post.



Partition pruning is the most critical performance component about partitioning. Partitioning can ease management of your data (for example the ability to just backup or restore a single partition or the ability to drop a no longer needed partition) but the main reason people add partitions is for performance.



Pruning helps performance by only reading the partitions that need to be read for a query. For example, if you have a table range partitioned by year that has partitions for the years 2000 through 2010.

I was browsing around the MySQL web site tonight and ran across some free webinars (recordings). Seeing as how I once did a podcast on Oracle partitioning, one webinar that jumped out at me was Partitioning in MySQL 5.1 and onwards.



I didn’t even know MySQL did partitioning. Here is a description of the webinar:




In this webinar we will provide further insight into MySQL partitioning, including:

• Introduction to MySQL Partitioning
• Linear Key Partitioning
• Partition Function
• Partition Options
• Information Schema for Partitions
• EXPLAIN PARTITIONS
• Partition Management
• Partition Pruning
• Partitioning and NULL Values
• Partitioning Implementation
• Partitioning for MySQL Cluster
• Future Roadmap for Partitioning
• Partitioning Limitations in 5.1

Sounds good. It’s a good presentation but kind of slow.

Well, the webinar has been done. The recording has been posted to something called Jumpcut. This is video and audio. Check it out and give me feedback.

If that doesn’t play for you, you can watch it on Jumpcut, From Oracle to EnterpriseDB: An Oracle ACE’s Journey.

Thanks,

I did the EnterpriseDB Migration webinar today. The webinar was recorded and will be posted on the EnterpriseDB web site. I’ll update this post with a link as soon as it is.

I think it went well. Derek had a family emergency and was not able to participate but his stand-in Matthew Bennett knew his stuff. He did the intro and then the follow up. We both answered questions.

There were some really good questions. I will try to cover some those here, in the future. For now, you can view the powerpoint presentation.

I will be doing a webinar next week, Aug 22 at 1PM Eastern. If you can’t make it in real-time, the webinar will be recorded and will be available for viewing afterwards on the EnterpriseDB.com web site.

The webinar was announced in the EnterpriseDB press release for my book, EnterpriseDB Announces Availability of Definitive Reference Book.

From the press release:

Lewis Cunningham will describe his progression from EnterpriseDB skeptic to advocate in a live Webinar, From Oracle to EnterpriseDB: An Oracle ACE’s Journey, on Wednesday, Aug. 22 at 1:00 p.m. EDT.
