Boosting Performance, at Sun Microsystems

We're pleased to have Giuseppe Maxia, MySQL Community Team Lead at Sun Microsystems, speak with us at this very special event, hosted at Sun Microsystem's offices.

Boosting performance with partitions in MySQL 5.1 and 5.5

Partitions divide up large data sets to increase performance and minimize disk and other bottlenecks. In this talk, Giuseppe will look at the general concepts around partitioning, how they apply to MySQL, and how to utilize these valuable features in MySQL 5.1 and MySQL 5.4 for improving performance and scalability.
