MySQL - nuggets
I had great pleasure in listening to David Axmark and Monty Widenius talking about MySQL this morning. When I take up a new subject, I always feel a little apprehensive - am I presenting it as its authors intended? Who are the authors anyway - are they nice, sensible guys? Great news - Monty and David pass with flying colours on both counts and I'm even more of a protagonist for MySQL now that I was six hours ago. Full posts in the solution centre (see under MySQL) ... here are some nuggets ... * It takes 3 days to test each new release of MySQL as all the releases are test-installed on a build farm to ensure it's RIGHT. * "Inspection study shows code quality of MySQL is 6 times better than that of comparable proprietary code". This means that (for example) a recent decision as to whether to go for another Gamma release of 4.1 or to go production was obvious - it stayed Gamma. * It's called MySQL after Monty Widenius's daughter My, who doesn't like the picture Monty uses of her during presentations. * The "LIMIT 10,10" syntax extension was proposed by Rasmus Lerdorf, the guy who originated PHP.
