Comment on Nikhil in mySQL Land by DatabaseMark

Hi – I was very interested to come across this blog. I too have worked on commercial databases in the past (Oracle, Ingres, Sql*Server) and currently (while on the bench) have been investigating Mysql (see my blog) and web stuff. Interesting too that you’re moving to a Linux platform – once you get used to VI and shell I’m sure you’ll be a fan! Please keep the blog going and good luck!

Comment on Google Wave looks awesome by technikhil

Check out this idea (http://helderribeiro.net/?p=130) for using Google Wave as a Code Review tool – that’s a neat use for this tool.

I’m highly excited about this. I think that it could replace email for the majority of people, if Google makes it easy (and cross-web-platform capable) enough to install and administrate. And also, if someone makes a good bot that will make the service backwards-compatible with traditional email, as a way for people to transition. So that if someone emails you, you get it as a Wave, and when you edit that Wave, it emails the originator back.

I’d be interested to look under the hood at the code for distributed communication — it seems like that would be a tough nut to crack.

Comment on Getting Microsoft SQL Server and mySQL to talk by technikhil

Yeah, A few million rows would be a problem. One could tune the select query to return a range of rows (a few thousand for example) and loop through the million rows. It would depend on the specific circumstance however and in some cases simply using a script is your best bet

Just wait until you have a few million rows in that table and you try to:

INSERT into openquery(MySQL,’select * from db_name.table_name’)

Then MSSQL will timeout as it waits for the openquery command to return all of them. I ended up having one of the guys I manage write me a python tool that copies data from MSSQL to MySQL.

Looks like Google did something with it after all. Google Voice.
