Yes, MySQL 5.1’s new Partitioning<\/a> feature definitely is a hot topic. Last week’s iPod Nano winner won thanks to interesting partitioning happenings, and this week’s one wins for the same reason.<\/p>\n

With that, here comes a hearty congratulation to Jeremy Cole, who’s won himself an iPod Nano<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Jeremy’s been a long-time MySQL user, a one-time employee, and a great help on the mailing lists. In trying out new features in MySQL 5.1, he stumbled upon several bugs<\/a>, one of which has been fixed. Again, the idea of repeatable bug reports is tantamount to how quickly a developer can fix a problem. (mysql#17541<\/a>) Don’t forget to read his engaging blog, jcole’s weblog<\/a>, which is already fed to Planet MySQL<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Want an iPod Nano next week? Its simple. File a useful, reproducible, non-duplicated bug report. Blog about it. That second step, is seemingly important. And I’ll notice it when I do my weekly bug hunt ;-)<\/p>\n

In other news, if you want to meet Jeremy Cole, he’s presenting quite a bit at the MySQL Users Conference<\/a> 2006:<\/p>\n
