I had a setting wrong in my recording program and ended up having a very different sound quality than what I had wanted. I played with it as much as I could, but I apologize for the bad quality audio, especially the breathing that you can hear, the mouse clicks, and when you can hear me swallow and such. (It’s probably not as bad as it sounds, but I shudder at it all, because I want to provide y’all with the best quality possible).

On with the show notes!

Tutorials are 3 hours long (and there are two that have two parts each). The tutorial links and descriptions are here. Tutorials in bold are ones that were mentioned in the podcast:

There are too many sessions to list, however the conference home page at http://www.mysqlconf.com (scroll to the bottom), and the links take you to a page with all the sessions in that track.

Finally, episode 5 is here. In this episode, the first part in a two-part series about Falcon, the new storage engine provided by MySQL, we talk about what happens when you query a Falcon table, going over and explaining MVCC and the record cache. Next episode will go over the serial logs and indexes.

Jim Starkey is a great speaker, and very funny to listen to – at one point he refers to a performance hit as a “performance surprise”. He’s also a piece of history – listen for his take on MVCC, which he invented.
