VOTE FOR LOCATION WHEN RSVPING

I have a feeling this meetup will draw a big crowd. We had ~55 people come out to Dilworth Neightborhoode Grille last year when Peter spoke on Scaling MySQL. This means that our usual meeting place might not be large enough. I want to put it up to a vote which will last 7 days so RSVP now to have a say in the location! Keep in mind the options available at each place.

Introduction

Optimizing MySQL Configuration MySQL's configuration file is often the focus of too much attention, and too much tweaking of variables that make no difference -- or worse, have the potential to negatively impact performance. The sample default configuration files that come with MySQL are unfortunately not very helpful or good, either. You'll learn a practical approach to generate a sensible configuration file that sets what's needed and omits what isn't. The result will be a more stable and performant server that's resistant to many common problems.
