This week, we take a look at foreign keys - what they are, what you can do with them, and how to troubleshoot the dreaded errno 150. In Ear Candy, we talk about Secrets of Success in the Style of GLEE from CodeConnexx this month, where Jennifer Marsman Microsoft's Developer and Platform Evangelism team talks about how to be successful in a tech job, by using popular songs as illustrating points.
This week we continue part 3 of the Operations Report Card and how it relates to database administration. This week we talk about the section on "Operational Practices", and it covers how operations are run. In Ear Candy we present different tools for finding a machine's external IP address, and in At the Movies we present a video about MySQL Security from when Sheeri was touring Latin America in July.
While we were at MySQL Connect last month, we interviewed long-time MySQL developer JD Duncan about integrating NoSQL and JavaScript with MySQL. His team developed the Node.js API for MySQL. This week, we present the interview we did. In Ear Candy, we discuss what makes a senior DBA, and in At the Movies we present a ScaleBase webinar.
This is part one of a series where we will explore the Operations Report Card and explain how it applies to DBAs. Listen and grade your own organization, this is a great opportunity to get some new ideas on how to organize your department and make your job more efficient and streamlined.
