Google Releases MySQL Enhancements

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the what-an-exciting-morning-this-isn't dept.

An anonymous reader noted that "Google has released its internally developed enhancements to MySQL to the open source community this week. Changes include improvements in replication, high availability configuration, and performance." It'll be interesting to see if the changes they made are of interest to other places using MySQL.

    I wouldn't be so sure: the mysql administrator is not always able to restore a backup correctly. you are well advised to restore backups through the command line. it is also impossible (at least last time I checked) to automatically include all databases in a scheduled backup. You can only select the databases that are present at the time you schedule the backup.

    I'd echo the "command line" solution - any admin who couldn't whip up a script in 10 minutes to backup all databases that exist when the script is *run* isn't worth much.
