Reminder: uc2004.vbmysql.com
Hello Everyone; I thought I would take a chance to remind you all of the blog collection and image gallery available at http://uc2004.vbmysql.com We have had over 30 blog entries posted since the conference started, written by several bloggers and encourage more to contribute. If you were not able to make it to the conference this is shaping up to be a great resource for getting session notes from the attendees.

Ann: New Article on SSH Port Forwarding of MyODBC
Hi Everyone; I have published a new article covering SSH port forwarding of MySQL sessions, which can be viewed at http://www.vbmysql.com/articles/sshtunnel.html The article covers connecting a Windows client to a *NIX based server. Anyone with previous experience will probably find the article redundant (although I would not mind feedback), but it should be useful for those without experience in port forwarding. In any case I hope you find it useful.

RE: New Article on SSH Port Forwarding of MyODBC
That is a pretty fair take on network traffic. SSH has strong enough encryption to make the decryption effort not worth it to all but those with supercomputers. As for the internal mail, I think we can agree that some mail would be critical enough to warrant encryption even on an internal network. Mike Quoting Adam Trimeloni [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Think of your information like a letter in the mail. Well, for this example, think of it even more as a post-card. Your message is written on the outside where the anyone that touches it can read it. This post-card is going through the post office. It is going through mail centers, hubs, etc. Whatever path it needs to take to get from point A to Point B. At anyone of these post offices, if someone wants to read it, they just look at it, read it, then pass it along like normal. How would you ever know someone read it? Regular internet traffic is not encrypted, when you send a request, you send a written request like a post-card. Anyone in the middle could decide to read it. If you encrypt it, then they may have a harder time reading it, they would have to decrypt it. Of course, with the encrypted message, they could say, photocopy your post card, pass the post-card along, then work on figuring out how to read it in their spare time. The better your encryption, the longer it would take them to figure out what it says. But, say your mail system is all internal. You are sending mail from inside your building to inside your building. In this case, if the system is set up right, your mail will go from your office, to another office with-out ever leaving your building, which makes it much more secure. Someone in your own building would have to be devious enough to read your post-cards.(hopefully, your internal mail system would know not to send this message out to the normal post-office, just so the post-office will send it back to you) Anyway, that's my take on it. -- MySQL ODBC Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/myodbc To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Solaris Replication and IP Addresses - Known Issue?
Hi All, I have been trying to assist in a replication problem with Solaris. Seems the problem came down to using an IP address in the CHANGE MASTER command. The Slave would not connect properly to a master defined by IP address, but when the IP was out in a hosts file and the hostname specified everything was fine. See: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Databases/Mysql/Q_20767370.html In addition, this issue is mentioned in a comment at http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Replication_HOWTO.html Posted by Juha Palomaki on Thursday September 18 2003, @11:18am I couldn't get the replication working on Solaris (SunOS 5.8) with MySQL MAX 4.0.15 precompiled binary with IP addresses. When I tried to start the replication it was always complaining about not being able to login as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Everything started working after I put the IP address to /etc/hosts and put the name of the machine instead of IP address to /etc/my.cnf. I do not use Solaris and cannot replicate this myself, but is this a known issue or should it go to bugs.mysql.com?

New list mirror
Hi Everyone; I have been experimenting with a new add-on for my VB/MySQL forums, and as a result I now have a new mirror for the general list. The mirror is available at http://www.vbmysql.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=17 but only took effect today, so there is not too much to search through yet. The add-on is still pretty rough around the edges but should soon allow posting to the list and replying to list messages, and I will add mirrors of more of the MySQL lists soon. Does anyone know a way to get a dump of list messages to allow the mirror to search further back?

Re: Question about InnoDB and external locking
Ok, here's another question. Given effective external locking by the OS, could MyISAM tables achieve this? If so, do you know any operating systems that would have reliable external locking?

If I remember correctly, InnoDB and the MySQL external locking flag are unrelated as InnoDB tables are unaffected by external locks. Now the question: is it possible for two MySQL servers to access the same tablespace in a shared disk cluster? I'm not Heikki, but I'm also pretty sure you can't do that today with InnoDB tables. Not only would performance suffer, I don't believe there's a mechanism in place for a shared transaction log... Jeremy -- Jeremy D. Zawodny | Perl, Web, MySQL, Linux Magazine, Yahoo!

Mini PC Server Hardware Review
Hi All; These might be of interest to some on this list: http://www.vbmysql.com/articles/microserverhp.html I recently got my hands on a MicroServer HP by NorhTec in Calgary. It is an interesting box and could be useful for certain MySQL related applications. http://www.vbmysql.com/articles/mysqlproexam.html I have recently taken the Pro Exam, and my comments and observations can be found at the above link (approved by Carsten Pedersen of MySQL as NDA compliant ;-) ).
