MariaDB moves development to Github
Today marks a milestone in terms of the MariaDB project – going forward, the MariaDB project plans to use Github and git for source code management. The migration happens from Launchpad and the bzr tool.
The 10.1 server development (under heavy development now) will happen on Github. You can check it out here: https://github.com/MariaDB/server. Feel free to watch, star or even fork the code, and send us contributions!
Previous maria-captains should now provide their Github IDs so that they can be […]

Currently on the page, you’ll find most of the talks with slides and the videos are professionally done – with slide overlays. The audio could be better on […]

Lua sysbench – crash course
This is a follow-up on my previous blog post about using Lua enabled sysbench. Today I will dive into how to write Lua scripts for sysbench. Look at this simple example:
There are 3 functions prepare(), cleanup() and help(). Those are executed when sysbench is asked to perform the respective action (i.e. sysbench … help).
If you do sysbench … run then things are different. First sysbench starts the requested number of threads and executes the thread_init() function for each. […]

Using Lua-enabled sysbench
A quite common benchmark for MySQL is sysbench. It was written nearly 10 years ago by Alexey Kopytov.
Sysbench has modes to benchmark raw CPU performance, mutex speed, scheduler overhead and file IO performance. The probably most often used sysbench mode is OLTP. This benchmark mimics a OLTP scenario with small transactions hitting an optimized database. There are many variables to play with, most important is the number of simulated application threads (option –num-threads). The OLTP benchmark can be run […]

Crunching XML files with MariaDB
In January I wrote my first post about node.js and MariaDB . In February I continued with a second post about using jQuery and some GIS calculations. Now it is time for the third and this time the main focus is not so much on GIS functionality, but instead on the capabilities MariaDB has for handling piles of unstructured data. In this case I’ll be focusing on crunching a pile of XML files without importing the XML data itself.
MariaDB 10.0, which had its GA […]
