New MySQL Terminology for High Availability

Kenny Gryp is a good friend who is working for Oracle these days and is really really good with MySQL. He recently wrote a great article about something that is changing for all the right reasons, namely the terms you use to refer to a master or slave server (speaking customarily, being an old timer).

The new nomenclature for #mysql replication is good, and will take some time to get used to but this is a good time to get it over with.

The article is available here on the MySQL High Availability Blog

Yes, Another Open Source Database Blog !

Every professional is a unique individual, with a potentially unique perspective about what they have been up to in their professional and personal life and hence can always provide value to their readers through their original content or by augmenting content from other experts with their opinions and thoughts.

Having been involved with large scale database work during my previous job engagements, I have had some interesting experiences. I used to have a blog that's been lost during a country move where the custom domain was lost. It wasn't focused on databases, but this one is different as it is focused on databases.

 The fact that computers can store and retrieve data at a very high rate and usually don't forget any of they fasinated me when I first learned that in early nineties. So, from dBase 3 Plus and FoxPro 🦊 to MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, MongoDB and Couchbase I have had a chance to use a lot of data stores, some as a developer and others in more if an administrative role.

So, thanks for visiting and read on, hope to see you around often !
