MySQL University session on February 5: MySQL Performance and Scalability Project - Issues and Opportunities

[Stefan Hinz]

MySQL Performance and Scalability Project - Issues and Opportunities
http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/MySQL_Performance_and_Scalability_Project_-_Issues_and_Opportunities

Next Thursday (February 5th), we're continuing our series of sessions on
MySQL performance measuring and improvements with Allan Packer's
presentation titled MySQL Performance and Scalability Project - Issues
and Opportunities. Allan works in the Performance and Applications
Engineering department at Sun Microsystems, so again, expect to get some
deep insights into the inner workings of the MySQL Server.

Allan is based in Australia, so note that this session will take place
in the morning (Europe) or evening (APAC), respectively.

For MySQL University sessions, point your browser to this page:

You need a browser with a working Flash plugin. You may register for a
Dimdim account, but you don't have to.

MySQL University is a free educational online program for
engineers/developers. MySQL University sessions are open to anyone, not
just Sun employees. Sessions are recorded (slides and audio), so if you
can't attend the live session you can look at the recording anytime
after the session.
