MySQL University Sessions
We are looking at the MySQL University session list at the moment and would like to see some more topics and ideas for future sessions.
The original purpose of MySQL University sessions has been to cover some technical content on the internals of MySQL, but we’re looking into spreading out and looking in to more general areas.
For example, how about these for some ideas on potential sessions:
- How to start a local MySQL user group
- Using MySQL with different connectors
- Using MySQL in different applications (including programming and/or end-user applications)
- Making the best of MySQL on different platforms (our recent MySQL/Solaris session is an example)
These are just off the topic of my head, so don’t take these as hard list, I’m sure you can come up with some better ideas than these.
If you have any idea, leave it in the comments.
Hi
I just discover MySQL University. I had bad experience with MySQL webinar and it looks like a good alternative to stay up to date.
After a quick look at the wiki page, I propose a missing topic so far: Advanced partitioning.
I would like to know more about partitioning on a huge innodb table (like ~100Gb of data) storing images and document file. Add to these a quick look at different partitioning behavior between 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2 (or 6.0)

I would also like to see a session on partitioning, but possibly a look at some of the internals – covering things like how partition migration happens (a row moving from one partition to another), and possibly a what’s next with partitioning.
A session on integrating patches to new releases would be helpful as well (like porting a one of the google patches to 5.1, etc, etc)
