Boston MySQL User Group a Success!

Yet again, the Boston MySQL User Group was a success. Larry Stefonic, Senior Vice President, Worldwide OEM & Embedded Sales and President, MySQL K.K. (Japan) was on hand to witness the event. There were 15 people total at the user group, which is our lowest yet, but I'll get to why I was not disappointed at all later on.

However, the topic was advanced: "Measuring MySQL Server Performance for the Sensor Data Stream Processing" presented by faithful MySQL User Group attendee Jacob Nikom, from MIT Lincoln Labs. (he's been to every user group meeting!)

And I was very impressed with the questions folks asked of Jacob -- the group was half the size of what we usually are, but we were all fully engaged. I'm very proud of the MySQL group! We have a diverse range of skills and I'm glad we can accomodate all of them.

Next month's topic will be "Storing images in a database," which was pushed out of the way in April to make room for Jay Pipes' wonderful presentation. As well, we hope to have a special User Group before then with an extra special MySQL guest. More details on that when they happen.

Jeff,

Check out the FEDERATED storage engine in 5.0, or you can hack it using replication.

hello there,
i am trying to reproduce a data server that a company uses to present information to its customers via the web. No problem. What they are using right now is Microsoft Access, connecting via ODBC to a server on line. The cool thing that they can do is have several tables linked together. Like if a certain field is updated in one table, it updates the same info automatically in another table. So, i want to reproduce this in MySQL, but i can't seem to find out how. Is there a way to pull this off on the server side ? or does that have to be done on the client side ?
thanks for any tips.
