    MySQL Rockstar, René Cannaò, drops in on Fred & Scott to wax philosophical about the success of MySQL, the MySQL Community, and his inspiration for ProxySQL ----------------------------------------------------------------- Episode Transcript: 00:00:00:00 - 00:00:36:10 Unknown Welcome to Inside MySQL: Sakila Speaks, a podcast dedicated to all things MySQL. We bring you the latest news from the MySQL team, MySQL project updates and insightful interviews with members of the MySQL community. Sit back and enjoy as your hosts bring you the latest updates on your favorite open-source database. Let's get started! Hello and welcome to Sakila Speaks, the podcast dedicated to MySQL. 00:00:36:14 - 00:01:01:13 Unknown I am leFred and that is Scott Stroz. Today we are happy to welcome René Cannaò to our podcast. René is a well-known figure in the MySQL ecosystem. He's mainly known as the author of ProxySQL, which he founded in 2016 after developing it since 2013. René is one of our rockstasr and recently received his award during the last Pre-FOSDEM MySQL Belgium Days. 00:01:01:15 - 00:01:25:11 Unknown Welcome, René. Hi, Fred. Thanks for the introduction. I'm very excited to be part of this podcast. And, yeah, it's I'm way I also very much appreciate the MySQL award that I received the early last last month. It was a nice surprise, and I'm very excited to be part of this growing community. Awesome. Thank you René, it was great meeting you last month. 00:01:25:13 - 00:01:48:07 Unknown So, as a longtime member of the MySQL community, do you have any thoughts on how MySQL became the most popular open source database that powers the internet? I don't think that MySQL popularity can be attributed to just one single factor, but I think the combination of factors that made, MySQL so popular as an open source database that is powering the web. 00:01:48:08 - 00:02:17:19 Unknown So, I would say that the probably the very first factor is its simplicity and easy to use, that it made it accessible to all developers of all levels, especially during the early days of the web. So, everybody could have access to MySQL and install it. And this made possible for MySQL to be part of, that very classic Lamp stack in which we had the Linux, Apache, MySQL, and then PHP, Python or Perl. 00:02:18:01 - 00:02:47:14 Unknown So, MySQL was part of this stack, and this allowed it to have, widespread adoption, especially for web application. And, you know, this, this sort of created, positive feedback loop because, as more, users were using MySQL, then the product was becoming a bigger product and then more users were using MySQL. So, you know, this created an absolutely, feedback loop. 00:02:47:19 - 00:03:21:04 Unknown And I think another factor that absolutely affected, the popularity of MySQL was the fact that, not only was easy to download it easy to install, but it was also very reliable, very, very good performance for web application. And it was focused on what the traditional and nontraditional, transactional and non-transactional, workload. So, everybody could make it, and could use it no matter how big were their specific web application. 00:03:21:05 - 00:03:51:11 Unknown And, finally, I think, another important factor was the fact that it had a very, fast growing community around it. So, this absolutely is one of the factors that made it, one of the most popular open-source database. Awesome. Thank you. René. So, as we can hear, you know, very well, MySQL, you're around for a long time in the community, but, it seems that you also worked at MySQL, isn't it? 00:03:51:11 - 00:04:19:05 Unknown Yes. That's correct. As I said, so if you correct, have been in the MySQL ecosystem for very long time, I think I started using MySQL in production in 2004. I was one of the very, few people that saw getting the MySQL certification. Actually, I think it was I was, number 23 with the MySQL Cluster certification. 00:04:19:09 - 00:05:04:01 Unknown So, I've been using my secret for very long time. And as you correctly mentioned, I also worked for MySQL from 2008 till 2011. And, I was part of the MySQL support team. Immediately after the acquisition from Sun. And there was that the last 11. So, after, the acquisition, for Oracle. And I would say that as me, I have been very fortunate in, working, team member of the MySQL support team because there I had the opportunity not only to work together with excellent, and very knowledgeable people that were working in my same team, in the MySQL support team. 00:05:04:06 - 00:05:27:19 Unknown But, I also had, let's say easy access to developers or MySQL developers. So, if there was anything that none of us in the MySQL support team were able to answer about some specific internal of MySQL, it was it was extremely good that we always had the some developers who we could ask for feedback or for clarification. 00:05:27:21 - 00:06:07:09 Unknown And I would say that, I was also very fortunate in...

    For this episode, Fred and Scott are joined by Laurynas Biveinis - one of the most prolific individual contributors to MySQL Community. Take a listen as Laurynas discusses the process he uses when he discovers bugs and how he sets up tests for the engineering team. ----------------------------------------------------------- Episode Transcript: 00;00;09;14 - 00;00;36;00 Unknown Welcome to Inside MySQL: Sakila Speaks, a podcast dedicated to all things MySQL. We bring you the latest news from the MySQL team, MySQL project updates and insightful interviews with members of the MySQL community. Sit back and enjoy as your hosts bring you the latest updates on your favorite open sourcedatabase. Let's get started! Hello and welcome to Sakila Speaks, the podcast dedicated to MySQL. 00;00;36;07 - 00;01;13;06 Unknown I am leFred and I'm Scott Stroz. Today we are thrilled to welcome Laurynas Biveinis to our podcast. Laurynas. He's a highly respected software engineer and a seasoned expert in database technologies, particularly MySQL. With a rich background in database internals, performance optimization and open source development. Laurynas has contributed extensively to the MySQL ecosystem. He has played a key role in announcing most performance and reliability to his work on project like the Percona server and other database innovation. 00;01;13;08 - 00;01;45;08 Unknown We are excited to dive into this highlight on MySQL, his evolution and the future of the database technology. Laurynas, you have been extremely active in helping improve MySQL and since April 2011, you have reported 444 bugs. First of all, I love the symmetry of the number of 444, but can you like, give us, a brief walkthrough of how you go about reporting the bugs? 00;01;45;08 - 00;02;00;25 Unknown Like, like what type of testing do you do? Do you set up some type of test framework or, or something? Because obviously, you know, you need to make sure that it can be repetitive and you have to report that stuff to, to the team. But just walk us through like your mental process that you, you, you do for that. 00;02;00;28 - 00;02;30;28 Unknown Hello. And, thanks for having me here. So to, to to answer the question about bug reporting. Whenever I notice that something is off, and I make a note of it, and I return to it later, and the majority of my bugs come from, either, documentation reading, either from the source code reading or from, running the source code, in the in a test framework. 00;02;31;00 - 00;02;52;18 Unknown So, the test framework gives something that, creates reproducible test cases. And if I can write one in the test case, in the, in the test framework, I do that and I submit that with a bug reports. And I know that your team immediately can, they can tell me whether they produce it or is, that they need something else for me. 00;02;52;21 - 00;03;20;04 Unknown So. So you are using MTR, as the the same framework as we do? Yeah. Most of the time I'm using MTR. So, but, so about all that, huge number of bugs that you report, you are also one of the most prolific contributors of my SQL with, 84 contributions in MySQL 8. So, why are you contributing so much and what type of contribution do you do usually for people that doesn't know you? 00;03;20;06 - 00;03;48;09 Unknown Well, so, these are usually bug fixes. Most of the time small but sometimes larger too. And over the years there have been a few performance features contributor to. So the thing I like about contributing is that,contribution makes that code less of my problem and more of your problem. So, it's like a gifting a puppy. 00;03;48;11 - 00;04;17;27 Unknown And so now you have to take care of it, although you are happy you received it. I love that analogy. That's a that's a that's a analogy about open source, contributions. That's great. So I've seen that you, recently have been blogging quite a bit about, MySQL and Mac OS, which interests me because for work I use, a mac and obviously I have to run MySQL on that platform. 00;04;18;00 - 00;04;48;15 Unknown But usually MySQL is run on Linux. That's a probably. Linux is probably the most popular operating system on which to run MySQL. Why do you think that is? Well, it's won the server wars. Hasn't it? And with the, the newer with the new features, with, with the BPF and you're in it's, it gets better every day and there is no real competition for it in the server space. 00;04;48;18 - 00;05;15;22 Unknown But the thing I love about Mac is that, development is easier for me on the Mac, and the hardware is very good. The build times are excellent on, on the on the Apple silicon machines. So I like that, I can do it with the least friction and with the, the best the turnaround time from typing to testing. 00;05;15;24 - 00...

    Pedro Andrade joins Fred and Scott to talk about how MySQL's mascot was named. Pedro shares a conversation he had with Ambrose Twebaze where they discuss the competition where Sakila was given her name. ------------------------------------------------------------- Episode Transcript: 00;00;09;13 - 00;00;32;08 Welcome to Inside MySQL: Sakila Speaks a podcast dedicated to all things MySQL. We bring you the latest news from the MySQL team, MySQL project updates and insightful interviews with members of the MySQL community. Sit back and enjoy as your hosts bring you the latest updates on your favorite open-source database. Let's get started! Hello! 00;00;32;09 - 00;00;55;07 Welcome to inside MySQL: Sakila Speaks, the podcast dedicated to MySQL. I am a leFred and I'm Scott Stroz. Today we are diving into something fun. Mysql’s beloved mascot Sakila the dolphin. Sakila represents more than just the logo. It's a symbol of a global community. It's open-source spirit and its dedication to efficiency and speed in the database world. 00;00;55;11 - 00;01;15;24 But what's the story behind Sakila? How did a dolphin become the face of one of the most widely used database management systems in the world? And what significance does Sakila hold for the MySQL community, and how does it inspire innovation? To learn about the name of this iconic dolphin, we have Pedro Andrade a long-time MySQl-er of 17 years. 00;01;15;25 - 00;01;39;21 So, Pedro, can you tell us how Sakila became MySQL’s mascot? Was there any particular reason behind choosing a dolphin? Yeah. Hello everyone, this is Pedro Andrade. So, the reason that the dolphin was chosen as a mascot is it represents, the database. Ease of use. So, friendliness. Right? Speed and agility. Because, as we all know, dolphins are very smart creatures. 00;01;39;28 - 00;01;59;29 So, the name Sequela as an interesting background, it was choose from a naming competition. And I think you personally know the winner. Can you share more about the story, Pedro? Sure thing. So, as you mentioned, I've been with MySQL for a long time, and I’d always been very curious about the experience of the of the person that chose the name. 00;02;00;04 - 00;02;26;17 In the early days of MySQL and through community sense, what MySQL did is they opened a worldwide contest that was called, “Named the Dolphin Contest”. And so, we had submissions from all over the world. And the way the contest went is, the winner would win a couple of T-shirts and a Palm Pilot 3C, which, for those of you that remember, that was the color Palm Pilot, which was a very advanced technology at the time. 00;02;26;23 - 00;02;47;26 So, I did track down the winner. His name is Ambrose Twebaze. It took me a long time because he's not really on social media. So, after a couple of years of digging and searching, I found him, and he is in, Eswatini. Would you say a landlocked, kingdom in Africa? I spoke to Ambrose recently. 00;02;47;28 - 00;02;56;04 And I have some, some, interesting questions for the rest of the community to learn. 00;02;56;06 - 00;03;34;21 Thank you. Thanks again for talking to us. As I mentioned, MySQL is turning 30, in 2025, so that's coming around the corner. And we wanted to just, just revisit, the particularly the, the mascot, our mascot, the dolphin, which was name is Sakila, as you know. And you, you named it. So, this goes back to it and correct me if I'm wrong, but from from what I read, the contest itself was announced in 2001, and then, the submission or the, you know, the, the final, submission was, was chosen on, on 2002. 00;03;34;21 - 00;03;54;21 Is that right? So it was in 2002. That is that sound about right when you submitted the name? Yeah. Yeah, I think it took some time, but eventually it came through email. I saw where it I was very surprised because, I mean, when you enter something, there are so many people that enter these competitions. You are not expecting anything out of it. 00;03;54;21 - 00;04;14;22 I mean, we always enter competitions, so for the best or just you do it for the sake of it. Okay, let me just do this. And, what ends up ends. And so ,I did receive after a long time, I received an email that say, no, your name was chosen as the winning. Then they asked a few questions. 00;04;14;22 - 00;04;53;26 If I could write a few things about, the name, what it means. The name. This, basically, it's from Swaziland. Now, this was it is now rebranded itself as, Eswatini. Sakila, basically, it's a traditional, I don't know, like, stick for warriors was warriors, that used so actually it's pronounced “sagila”. So I thought when I was writing there, because, the people who receive this name are not from Africa. 00;04;53;26 - 00;05;18;04 They don't know how to pronounce this name. So it's being pronounced as "Sakila”. Okay. But for us, here in southern Africa, here. So I'm still in ...
