Slingshot! Preview Slingshot! is my new personal project. It is a work-in-progress suite of tools aimed at enabling the coordination of design information among different software environments. The project is open ended in its trajectory and may take some radical turns in the course of its development. Below is a preview of my plug-in for Grasshopper which aims at combining the power of parametric design with 'the world's most popular open source database': MySQL. I am placing the finishing touches on this plug-in... so hopefully you will see a release for testing this month. My questions: Will this be useful to you? Release date for testing: April, 2011 Copyright Nathan Miller, 2011

PostgreSQL: The world's most advanced open source database The GNU Operating System How To Set Up Database Replication In MySQ This is a "copy & paste" HowTo! The easiest way to follow this tutorial is to use a command line client/SSH client (like PuTTY for Windows) and simply copy and paste the commands (except where you have to provide own information like IP addresses, hostnames, passwords,...). This helps to avoid typos. How To Set Up Database Replication In MySQL Version 1.1Author: Falko Timme Last edited: 01/14/2006 This tutorial describes how to set up database replication in MySQL. In this tutorial I will show how to replicate the database exampledb from the master with the IP address 192.168.0.100 to a slave. Both systems have MySQL installed, and the database exampledb with tables and data is already existing on the master, but not on the slave. I want to say first that this is not the only way of setting up such a system. 1 Configure The Master First we have to edit /etc/mysql/my.cnf. Then we restart MySQL: /etc/init.d/mysql restart mysql -u root -p Enter password: Now we are on the MySQL shell. quit;

Licensing Valve Technology Valve's Source engine technology--the same used to power Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2, and Portal--is available for license to any game developer. Source is widely recognized as the most flexible, comprehensive, and powerful game development environment available. Source combines leading-edge character animation, advanced AI, real-world physics, shader-based rendering, and a highly extensible development environment to produce some of the most popular computer and console games. These games deliver the most intense, visually-stunning gameplay experiences on modern hardware, while scaling smoothly on older systems, enabling developers to reach a diverse range of gamers. At its core, Source is designed with a modular, component-based architecture that enables the seamless integration of new features and technologies. A Comprehensive Set of Tools and Technologies Create state-of-the-art games with the same tools and content used to build Half-Life 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2:
db4o :: Java & .NET Object Database – Open Source Object Database, Open Source Persistence, Oodb Open source software Open-source software (OSS) is computer software with its source code made available and licensed with a license in which the copyright holder provides the rights to study, change and distribute the software to anyone and for any purpose.[1] Open-source software is very often developed in a public, collaborative manner. Open-source software is the most prominent example of open-source development and often compared to (technically defined) user-generated content or (legally defined) open-content movements.[2] A report by the Standish Group (from 2008) states that adoption of open-source software models has resulted in savings of about $60 billion per year to consumers.[3][4] Definitions[edit] The Open Source Initiative's (OSI) definition is recognized[who?] OSI uses The Open Source Definition to determine whether it considers a software license open source.

MySQL Gotchas It's not a bug - it's a gotcha. A "gotcha" is a feature or function which works as advertised - but not as expected. When working with the MySQL ™ database server I have repeatedly encountered situations where the results of various actions have been unexpected and/or contrary to the behaviour generally expected of an SQL relational database. The cause can usually be traced to implementation details which are documented in the manual. I have created this list in order to further a better understanding of the MySQL database server and hopefully save others unnecessary headscratching. The MySQL database server is being continually improved. Note: this document contains many examples as they would appear in the MySQL command line client mysql ("mysql monitor"). 1.1. In SQL NULL represents the the absence of a value. Example 1. CREATE TABLE null_1 ( id INT NOT NULL, text1 VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL, text2 VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'foo'); Example 2. The manual explains this behaviour thus: Note
Slingshot! GH+MySQL v0.6 Released A new version of the Slingshot GH+MySQL plug-in has been released. The release improves on the workflow for writing information to a MySQL table. A new Write Table component is included which allows the user to dynamically insert and update multiple columns of data. A workflow example for creating, writing, and querying is also included in this release. Valve Developer Community Berkeley DB Tell us about the features you would like to see in Berkeley DB. Take the Berkeley DB Future Feature Survey here. Download Berkeley DB and review the source code, choose your build options and then compile the library in the configuration most suitable for your needs. The Berkeley DB library is a building block that provides the complex data management features found in enterprise class databases. These facilities include high throughput, low-latency reads, non-blocking writes, high concurrency, data scalability, in-memory caching, ACID transactions, automatic and catastrophic recovery when the application, system or harware fails, high availability and replication in an application configurable package. Oracle Berkeley DB fits where you need it regardless of programming language, hardware platform, or storage media. Oracle Berkeley DB 11g provides the foundational storage services for your application, no matter how demanding and unique your requirements may seem to be.
Make MySQL faster in one hour There may be a simple way to improve InnoDB performance on SMP servers. The benefit is not as great as that obtained by using the smpfix from Google or Percona, but the change is much simpler. It is also portable so it makes MySQL faster on non-x86 platforms. I want to hear from people who test this with real workloads on servers with 8+ cores or who do any type of testing on platforms other than Linux/x86. The change is to replace the mutex_t used in the InnoDB rw_lock_struct with a pthread_mutex_t. InnoDB implements a mutex (mutex_t) and a read-write lock (rw_lock_struct). Of course, you shouldn't take my word for it so I will provide a few results. base - MySQL 5.0.37 and the Google patch excluding the smpfix changessmpfix+tcmalloc - MySQL 5.0.37 and the Google patch including the smpfix changes and linked with tcmallocpthread_mutex - base with rw_lock_struct::mutex changed to use pthread_mutex_tResults for sysbench --test=oltp --oltp-read-only.
