Yes, you heard it here first. Monty is the world’s first MySQL Fellow<\/strong>. For outstanding work, being the co-Founder of MySQL AB, and for continuing excellent work. Standing ovation, might I add.<\/p>\n

Some quick comments from the clash of the DB egos:
\nHeikki Tuuri – he worked for Solid, then went on to university, and learned everything about databases. He attributes it to stubbornness. Monty said he should make InnoDB open source, and he obeyed!<\/p>\n

Mikael Ronstrom – “entrepreneurial ego in a large company”. He had a vision of what he wanted to do. Guess he was also a bit stubborn…<\/p>\n

Jim Starkey had the most interesting hat ;-) And he probably made a couple of bucks from it…
\n“Does the United States still have anything to say in databases?”<\/p>\n

Starting over is important, because you learn new things… Jim Starkey has written about 5 databases in his lifetime.<\/p>\n

Nitro: really fast speeds (faster than MyISAM). Monty does say its not a perfect solution. Positional awareness, so any index entry knows where it is.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> Oops, looks like Kaj might’ve got this out first – Monty: The First MySQL Fellow<\/a>.<\/p>\n
