It is truly a great way to <em>come learn with us<\/em>. The sessions are normally done via IRC and voice streaming, which is also recorded, however, seeing it in person at the MySQL DevMeeting, was just fabulous.<\/p>\n<p>There are obviously so many more Uni sessions that I wish I went to, but I&#8217;m lucky in the sense that they&#8217;re all recorded, so expect to see them online soon. Kudos to the scribes!<\/p>\n<p>I attended a few interesting sessions yesterday:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/forge.mysql.com\/wiki\/How_to_Create_a_Test_Case\">How to Create a Test Case<\/a> by Omer and Matthias &#8211; this was highly interesting, as I got a deeper understanding of our test framework. More importantly, I&#8217;ve found out that this is obviously an extension to mysql-test, and isn&#8217;t online yet, so I&#8217;ve pestered Omer to ensure that it reaches <a href=\"http:\/\/mysql.bkbits.net\/\">mysql.bkbits.net<\/a> in due time. Of course it can&#8217;t be merged as part of MySQL, because it isn&#8217;t part of 5.0 or 5.1, but its impressive that you can run tests that help you move from 5.0 to 5.1 and so on. Tests for minor version upgrades are also obviously supported, all in all, cool stuff.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/forge.mysql.com\/wiki\/Following_a_Query_Back_and_Forth_in_the_Server\">Following a Query Back and Forth in the Server<\/a> by Sergei &#8211; amazing, seriously. Good explanation, great images, and if you need to grind all the performance out of your queries, you can see where you might find pain points, when they do occur.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/forge.mysql.com\/wiki\/MySQL_Proxy_Overview\">MySQL Proxy Overview<\/a> by Jan Kneschke &#8211; now, all I want to do is play with the Proxy. Its ultimately cool stuff, and if you haven&#8217;t been enthralled by it yet, consider taking a look at it now. Its easily scriptable in LUA, which is a language I attempted to learn last night, by reading the Blue PIL book (sounds nicer when you say it :P). Consider checking out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lua.org\/pil\/\">Programming in Lua<\/a>, which I wish was available on my Safari subscription, however, the older version is online&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bytebot.net\/shots\/Heidelberg_tiny.png\" align=\"left\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/>As an aside, that isn&#8217;t exactly MySQL University based, but LUA seems to be the embedded language of choice at MySQL now. Proxy, Enterprise tools, and so on. Looks like its well worth knowing.<\/p>\n<p>Technorati Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/mysql%20lua%20university%20testcase%20queries%20proxy\" class=\"performancingtags\" rel=\"tag\">mysql lua university testcase queries proxy<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20MySQL%20University%20at%20the%20DevMeeting&body=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bytebot.net%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2007%2F09%2F22%2Fmysql-university-at-the-devmeeting&share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email a link to a friend\" data-email-share-error-title=\"Do you have email set up?\" data-email-share-error-text=\"If you&#039;re having problems sharing via email, you might not have email set up for your browser.
