NdbRecord

Kristian is currently talking about the new NdbRecord API for the NDBAPI and how it relates to ha_ndbcluster (the mysql storage engine, which uses ndbapi to talk to the cluster nodes) and how it can be used by ndbapi applications.

It looks like we’re getting a really neat API that avoids so much mess and makes it possible to write incredibly efficient mappings between what comes over the wire from data nodes and whatever internal structures the application wants to fill out.

Talking about this and Monty Taylor’s ORM mapping stuff could be very interesting.

Off to Stockholm (well, on Monday)

Having just moved apartments, it’s obviously time to get on a plane again.

On Monday I fly off to Stockholm again to attend the MySQL Cluster team meeting. Somehow we’re going to squeeze everybody into the Stockholm office (I’ll post humorous cramped photos, I promise).

Of course the thing to do now is to prepare for the meeting… packing can be done on sunday night or something.

Of course, if you’re in the area, come for food/beer!

Mikal reports the book has shipped!

My co-conspiritor Mikal (a geek from Canberra living in Silicon Valley) reports that copies of the book have arrived at his house! Not only that, Amazaon is reporting it’s in stock!

Now, hoping that because I’ve just moved the books still get to me… eep.  Expect me to be going around showing off the book as soon as I get it. I reckon it’s cool :)

telco/carrier grade MySQL cluster source trees on bkbits

Over at mysql.bkbits.net you can also get the “telco” (commonly known as CGE or “Carrier Grade Edition”) source trees of MySQL Cluster.

I think it’s exciting that we now have the source trees up here. You can use the freely available bk client to pull the sources or the commercial bitkeeper.

Since I just got back from the US for the MySQL UC (which was rather awesome) I don’t quite have the energy to go into the difference between normal mysql 5.1 and the telco trees… so wait for part 2 :)
