Pardon the crosspost, I know it's bad netiquette, but it's efficient. Scolding goes to /dev/null.

Maximum Velocity MySQL

Tuesday, March 20th ~ 1:30 - 4:30pm

University of Kansas, Lawrence

KS Union-Jayhawk Room

Thank you for your commitment to MySQL! Let's face it, no matter how good we are as developers and DBAs, all applications have their breaking points and as a result can cause serious performance and execution issues. Wouldn't it be great if MySQL shared some of our secrets on how to properly diagnose the schema and streamline application code?

That is exactly why I have asked Jay Pipes, MySQL Community Relations Manager, North America, to do a special presentation at no charge for you!

In this talk, you can learn:

* How to diagnose MySQL database performance bottlenecks using a variety of tools. * How to identify and FIX problem SQL code. * Best practices for writing streamlined, efficient SQL code that takes advantage of MySQL's strengths. * About advanced index concepts. * How to build an effective indexing strategy. * How to choose appropriate storage engines for different types of data. * How to adjust MySQL server parameters to squeeze the most performance out of your application. * How to plan for growth, in your code and in your index strategy. * How you can receive automatic preemptive advice & code for improving performance!

This free session is for the MySQL Community at large, so please feel free to invite your co-workers, managers, and friends! Anyone, or any company, who attends this session is eligible for a 10% discount on 2+ servers of MySQL Enterprise Gold, or 15% for 2+ servers of Platinum!
