Want to attend a MySQL 5.5 seminar?
Posted on March 11th, 2011 No commentsOracle University has added a new course to its training catalog “Introduction to MySQL 5.5″ which is a day-long seminar. The seminar goes into some detail on many aspects of using MySQL and of course pays particular attention to the new features in MySQL 5.5. I’ve reviewed the material and can assure you that there is plenty of it!
Of most relevance to this blog is the overview of MySQL Cluster (which isn’t a big focus of the seminar as Cluster is currently using MySQL 5.1) and MySQL replication – the highest profile 5.5 feature being asynchronous replication which can make sure that zero updates are lost even if the master fails catastrophically.
At the time of writing, neither the on-line and instructor-led sessions have been scheduled and so you should register an interest here. When OU have sufficient registrants they’ll schedule the sessions (note that unlike webinars, white papers etc. there is a charge for this training).
Here’s the official description:
