This year I am looking forward to the MySQL Conference mostly because I get to hook up with old friends and co-workers, but of course I also plan to sit in on a few sessions:
MySQL Sandalcamp: A Relaxed Intro to MySQL - Because Zak is a great speaker.
MySQL at Digg.com - Because I like to […]
The guys at Webyog have been great for producing a solid alternative to the GUI tools developed in-house by MySQL and I like meeting up with them each year at the MySQL Conference to see what they have been working on. Last year it was the release of their product as Open Source, this year […]

I’m thinking of a session to follow up my well-attended session on Managing Hierarchies in MySQL from last […]
A common problem MySQL users have with Crystal Reports 9 is the inability to browse tables and fields. While you can define a MySQL DSN, when you open it in Crystal Reports 9 you have no tables or fields in the field browser. This of course makes it very difficult to create a report.

So what happened? Well, two days ago I noticed connection issues while trying to create a blog post on MySQL’s new enterprise offering (more on that later).
