So, in fleshing out the test cases for this and innodb_dict_size_limit I was left with the not so awesome task of making the test case run in remotely reasonable time. The test case itself is pretty simple,…

2011-12-18 18:58:24 by Ovais TariqStatement based replication writes the queries that modify data in the Binary Log to replicate them on the slave or to use it as a PITR recovery. Here we will see what is the behavior of the MySQL when it needs to log “not usual” queries like Events, Functions, Stored Procedures, Local Variables, etc. We’ll learn what problems can we have and how to avoid them. TRIGGERS When a statement activates a Trigger only the original query is logged not the subsequent triggered statements.…
2011-12-17 03:08:58 by Miguel Angel NietoWe have developed links to a range of existing feeds because we found getting up-to-date and relevant news on PHP and Web Development fairly fragmented.
We use an algorithm based around likes and tweets over time to try and rank popular and most recent articles first.
This should keep the news fresh and always changing. We would love to get your feedback on improvements or additions, just let us know here:
