Google TechTalks presentation by Stewart Smith, MySQL AB (video) on April 28, 2006
Interesting quotes:
- Variable (really) size VARCHAR
- Significantly different and faster index add/drop (coming in 5.1)
- User defined cluster partitioning:
- by key
- by range (might not be in 5.1 but in future releases)
- by list (future, not 5.1)
- Replicate one cluster to another cluster (note node-to-node replication)
- much more … really for MySQL power
usersDBAs and large setups.
