MySQL performance and scalability continues to improve
SANTA CLARA, Calif. April 21, 2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAVA) today announcedMySQL 5.4, a new version of the world’s most popular open source database, designed to deliver significant performance and scalability improvements to MySQL applications. A preview version of MySQL 5.4 is available now for download at http://www.mysql.com/5.4.Â
Â
Today’s announcement was made at the seventh annual MySQL Conference & Expo being held this week at the Santa Clara Convention Center. With more than 2,000 attendees, it is the world’s largest event for open source database developers, DBAs, vendors and corporate IT managers.
MySQL 5.4 includes performance and scalability improvements enabling the InnoDB storage engine to scale up to 16-way x86 servers and 64-way CMT servers. MySQL 5.4 also includes new subquery optimizations and JOIN improvements, resulting in 90% better response times for certain queries*. These performance and scalability gains are transparent and don’t require any additional application or SQL coding to take advantage of them.
I’m genuinely excited by this new release of MySQL, I wonder if we’re not going to see it become more popular in the enterprise sectors? We’ll have to see, in the meantime, anything Sun and the open source can do to improve the performance, scalability and reliability has to bring more choice in the DBA space which has to be a good thing.
