I have a surprise this morning that I need to present another topic at WebManiacs and today and just ~2 hours later. :)

Confrence team requested from speakers to fill out some presentations and I had replied that I can present this topic. But there was no confirmation. While checking the topics this morning I saw my name on the list. :)

I think this is probably because of a small disorganization and I had to check all topics in advance. But anyway I have to prepare my slides now. :)

See you ...

Here is my presentation slides from todays session.

"The Power of MySQL"

I think it was pretty informative presentation about the basics of MySQL. I also feel that MySQL is a widely used platform in development but not in production. This is something that I expected from ColdFusion community when I think about MS SQL Server usage. But I think this will change by the time especially because of the power of the MySQL server and the open source community projects which mostly prefer MySQL as main database platform.

Luckily we have a native support in ColdFusion 8 and this is something that would be a good reason completing ease of MySQL usage especially when I remember the dilemma on embedded drivers in ColdFusion and old JDBC driver installation requirements etc.

I am also excited about the new MySQL storage engine Falcon. I feel that this will be something important in the new future for the database world preferences.

Please feel free to share your comments and ask any question that you may have.
