I came across an interesting error reported on #mysql the other day. When I went through it with the reporter it looks like we uncovered up to two bugs in InnoDB (or rather XtraDB as it was Percona Server). I thought it might be useful to go through the error message, including the stack trace, to show that you don't need to be a developer to track down some useful information.

The SkySQL & MariaDB: Solutions Day for the MySQL Database (the first of its kind) took place last Friday (April 13th) in Santa Clara, and we’d like to thank everyone who attended, participated and generally helped make it the successful day that it was!

The SkySQL booth ready for the stampede of visitors that stopped by each day.

In fact, we have another announcement to make here at the show. We’re happy to share that our already excellent service and support will also include PalominoDB's operational excellence, 24x7 on-call support and access to PalominoDB’s skilled team of DBAs.

See you next week in Santa Clara!

Let’s be clear from the get-go: contrary to what this picture and the title of this post may suggest, we are not giving Oliver - SkySQL’s honorary mascot - away next week! He was very good, though, to pose for this picture to help us better illustrate the size of this inflatable seal! We’ll let your imagination decide what else this photo represents. Or better yet, join us in Santa Clara, next week, at what’s looking to be a pretty exciting gathering of MySQL-aficionados!

That’s right, the SkySQL & MariaDB: Solutions Day for the MySQL Database and Percona Live MySQL Conference & Expo events are just around the corner!

So what’s the deal with the Consulting Lounge?

Well, next Friday (April 13th), at the SkySQL and MariaDB Solutions Day, in addition to the keynotes by Monty & David, intensive tutorials by guest speakers, and lunch – all absolutely free to attendees – there will be a Consulting Lounge throughout the day that attendees can visit.

The SkySQL Consulting Lounge will be located at the far end of the Mezzanine on the 2nd floor of the Hyatt.  Expert consultants from SkySQL, MariaDB, and its partners will be onhand to share best practices for deploying the MySQL database and related technologies. Just pay them a visit at the Lounge for deep dives into the world of MariaDB & MySQL database deployments in an otherwise entirely relaxing atmosphere!

And if that isn’t enough to wet your appetite for next week, we also have two great giveaways planned for the Percona Live MySQL Conference & Expo:

• The first 100 people to stop by the SkySQL booth (#413) at Percona Live will receive a SkySQL t-shirt and be automatically entered to win a remote control quadricopter. If you’re not sure what that is, just come and see it for yourself!

We're excited to announce new additions to the list of expert speakers at the upcoming SkySQL & MariaDB: Solutions Day for the MySQL Database on April 13.

Building on the already announced keynote from Michael (Monty) Widenius and David Axmark, and speakers from SkySQL, Monty Program, Webyog, Continuent, ScaleDB, Severalnines, Calpont InfiniDB and Sphinx Search, attendees will also gain valuable insight from Constant Contact, Sheeri C. Cabral, and MySQL expert Yoshinori Matsunobu. For the latest details on speakers and their presentations, check our event schedule and featured speakers pages.
