The Linux Users' Group of Davis (LUGOD) will be holding the following meeting:
Monday July 20, 2015 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Presentation: Some MySQL tricks -- an open discussion presented by Bill Kendrick, CTO, Smashwords, Inc.
MySQL is the world's most widely used open source relational database management system (RDBMS), and second most used of all RDBMSes, after Oracle. Over the years at Smashwords, we've come up with a number of methods to help address performance problems, including materialized views, caching, slave databases, denormalization, historical tables, and more.
This talk will briefly discuss some of these things, but since MySQL is 20 years old, and SQL in general first appeared over 40 years ago, the topic is quite large. Therefore, this meeting will be held as an open discussion, with the audience invited to share their thoughts and experience on the subject!
About the speaker: Bill Kendrick is CTO of Smashwords, Inc. an online ebook publishing and distribution service. He spends a lot of his time at the mysql> prompt, but makes no claim at expertise.
About Smashwords: Launched in 2008, Smashwords is a self-serve system where independent authors, publishers, and literary agents alike upload and manage their ebooks, which are sold at the Smashwords website, and distributed to numerous online retailers, including Apple iBooks Store, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Oyster, Scribd, OverDrive, and more.
