Topics: Gabrielle's new database design; and EXPLAIN
Who: Gabrielle Roth, XO communications; Selena Deckelmann, Chris King
Precision Components
When: Tuesday, December 19, 2006
Where: FreeGeek, 1731 SE 10th Ave

Gabrielle has been working on a new database and will lead us through
the trials and tribulations of the application she developed and
maintains. This recently involved a full schema-rewrite and you will
delight in learning the reasons why.

I have been reading up on EXPLAIN. I think this talk will be mostly
of a whirlwind tour through what the planner does when executing a
query, drawn from the Performance chapter in the Douglas book. I will
focus on the practical implications for structuring some simple
queries and try to draw on a number of sources.

Cool! I'm in town! I'll be there!

Suggested topic for this month's MySQL-bash - they dropped support
for most linux systems.
