Trends

  • Running a single MySQL server on a single system is going away.
  • Data is growing all the time.
  • People are taking more and more digital video and need a way to store and manage it.
  • Multimedia and graphic artists are using databases to run large video installations.
  • Server hardware is multicore with large amounts of storage and RAM


What is the right strategy for the MariaDB product?

  • There are some aspects where MySQL is great, but for other things it is very poor. Postgres, by example is very balanced, things are pretty much the same throughout the server. MariaDB needs to be more balanced.
  • Should we compete with Sun on hardware-level and engine-level performance? We don't have the resources, so maybe not.
  • A good ways for us to compete would be to optimize at the SQL level.
  • We could also focus on being friendlier to outside contributions.
  • Stability & Reliability are very important to end users.
  • Resume building MariaDB from the plans that were in place 2006 to make it more mature.
  • Should we kill the parser and create a new one? The parser sucks a lot of CPU.
  • Be the default and best database for PHP/Python/Perl
  • Figure out what Web/Web 2.0 means and create a meaningful benchmark
