Unfortunately, he didn&#8217;t say anything I could write without doing a free press release. So here&#8217;s a really short summary. The one slide is an [...]]]></description>

While remote trouble-shooting performance issues can be tricky, we often spot issues with the presented queries and offer alternatives to improve performance. One issue I see [...]]]></description>

A few &#8220;pesky&#8221; requirements/constraints Multiple developers all over the word have their own local test databases filled with data in different states.  The tests must work for everyone.  Ideally they won&#8217;t leave data floating around either.

		<description><![CDATA[In Part 1 of The Joy of Null I discussed a variety of ways null-equivalent values make it into the software design. Often times, developer laziness or immutability of the database tier drives many developers to insert values that simulate null values, rather than using a database null itself. In this second half, I&#8217;ll talk [...]]]></description>

For example, you may have a person&#8217;s full name but not their middle name or initial, or you might be missing their date of birth. In such cases, the recommended solution is to fill that field with a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a previous article, I discussed how to get the most out of your memory usage in MySQL systems using the InnoDB storage engine. To review, MySQL has overly conservative memory usage by default. Your MySQL instance may be using only a small fraction of the available memory, leading to unnecessarily poor application performance. In [...]]]></description>

If you&#8217;re not careful, you can have 16GB of RAM on your machine with MySQL only using 50MBs, leading to extremely poor performance under heavy load. I know firsthand that navigating MySQL configuration guides can be [...]]]></description>
