DESCRIPTION:Presented by MC Brown (Sun Microsystems). Query analysis can
  help highlight issues in the SQL in your application, but there are man
 y ways of getting that information. Obvious choices are explain and the 
 slow-query log, but newer solutions, such as live query monitoring, mysq
 l proxy and DTrace provide additional benefits.

SUMMARY:Distributed Innodb Caching with memcached
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Matthew Yonkovit (MySQL), Yves Trudeau (Percona
 ). The InnoDB storage engine has been modified to use memcached as a lev

 n of the disk load and performance boost has been observed. This opens a
  new way of scaling out MySQL.

SUMMARY:Faster Data Reduction and Smoothing for Analysis & Archival in M
 ySQL
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Michael McFadden (Sciencelogic.com). Any applic
 ation with frequent polling and extensive archiving needs has run into t
 he situation of ‘too much data’.  Tables become huge and unsearchable, p
 erformance goes down, and over time the cost to store this data adds up.
  This session covers data smoothing techniques including SQL query side 
 solutions that reduce resolution for data archival storage for more effi
 cient application performance.
