State of the Dolphin
summary
Announces MySQL 5.4 beta with InnoDB-driven gains—benchmarks show about 59% faster on web-app workloads, 71% throughput on 64-way, and 16/64-way scalability improvements; adds fast index creation and data compression. Introduces embedded InnoDB (a low-level ISAM-like API) and ships MySQL Cluster 7.0 as an in‑memory, five‑nines transactional option. Demos the Query Analyzer finding real issues (COUNT(*) table scans, tiny-but-frequent queries, massive result sets, silent errors). Commits to a liberal contributor agreement and monthly rapid updates with source and binaries.
