Chasing Bottlenecks
by Morgan Tocker
Description:
The best way to performance tune a system is to find out what your bottlenecks are, and attacking those first. In the first part of this session, I'll be looking at some of the issues faced with common database workloads. From there, I'll then be showing how you can get more information out of MySQL and your Operating System to find out about your workload. This session is designed for beginner to intermediate MySQL users.
Giuseppe Maxia spoke at the May 2009 Boston MySQL User Group about MySQL 5.4 and what it can do, the new performance features, etc.

From the official abstract at http://www.mysqlconf.com/mysql2009/public/schedule/detail/5682:
We have spent countless hours researching over 1,000 pieces of metadata. In the process, we have learned a lot about how MySQL works, and realized that it was a pretty good learning method.

At the January 2009 Boston User Group I presented a session on the new partitioning feature in MySQL 5.1. I go through how to define partitions, how partitioning makes queries faster, the different types of partitioning and when to use each type, and the restrictions and limitations of partitioning.
The slides are available at http://www.technocation.org/files/doc/2009_01_Partitioning.pdf. The video is embedded at the bottom of this post, and is also available at youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvN9XI-FraI.
Dr. Richard Hipp, creator of SQLite, presents "How SQL Database Engines Work" at OpenSQLCamp 2008.
The description:
To many programmers, SQL RDBMSes are a magical black box. A talk can help clear up a lot of the mystery. SQL users tend to make better use of the language once they have a rough idea of what is going on beneath the covers.
