The ever increasing performance demands of web-based services has generated significant interest in providing NoSQL access methods to MySQL - enabling users to maintain all of the advantages of their existing relational database infrastructure, while providing blazing fast performance for simple queries, using an API to complement regular SQL access to their data. The HandlerSocket development at DeNA is a great example of community innovation, with a solution implemented as a custom plug-in and protocol for the MySQL server daemon. We are hearing the community say they want NotOnly SQL - they want their trusted SQL RDBMS - plus, they want NoSQL techniques to access that data. So, we are previewing our NotOnlySQL solution for MySQL - delivered via memcached - with implementations to access both the InnoDB and MySQL Cluster (NDB) storage engines.

With MySQL 5.5 generally available and being deployed all over the planet, the architects and strategists can start looking ahead to the exciting new thing with "SQL" in its name: MySQL 5.6. MySQL 5.6 builds on the momentum of 5.5, and Oracle's investment and commitment to MySQL, by delivering better performance and scalability.

The MySQL Installer for Windows radically simplifies the installation process for all MySQL users on the Windows platform. It only takes minutes from downloading the MySQL Installer to having a ready to use MySQL system on your machine. An easy to use - wizard based - UI will guide you through the installation process. You can select which products you want to have installed on your machine. After the file installation you can configure your system and setup your MySQL server. MySQL Installer also helps you to keep your system up-to-date by offering a simple "Check for Updates" feature. If you choose to run this feature the MySQL Installer will connect to the MySQL.com webpage to check if new versions of your MySQL products are available. Those will then be downloaded and installed with a single mouse click. The MySQL Installer will run on all Windows platforms that are supported by MySQL.

The announcements at the Oracle Collaborate and O’Reilly MySQL conferences mark an exciting milestone in the development of the MySQL Cluster database. MySQL Cluster is already proven as a write-scalable, real-time transactional database, combining 99.999% availability with the low TCO of open source. With a distributed, multi-master architecture and no single point of failure, MySQL Cluster scales horizontally on commodity hardware to serve read and write intensive workloads. With these enhancements announced in the Development Milestone Release, MySQL Cluster can be extended to serve a broader range of workloads.
