On 16 January 2008, less than six weeks ago, Sun announced their definitive agreement to acquire MySQL AB. That "definite agreement" was still subject to government approval in the US, Germany and Austria, and to the signing of the legal transfer documents by MySQL AB's current owners. Those hurdles have now been passed, and the acquisition is thus official. MySQL is part of Sun!

Managing database change is an incredibly important discipline that very few database professionals overtly talk or worry about until they're in the thick of things with a particular database - moving it from development to production, making changes to a newly installed production database, or implementing an updated version of the database (new tables, modifications to existing objects, etc.) in a SaaS application. It's at that point where change management becomes very important because if you don't do things right the first time, you can make a royal mess of things and even (in a small number of cases) reach the point of no return where you've completely torched your database.

Performance tuning is one of the top disciplines (if not THE top discipline) that database professionals want to excel at. Being able to take a system that's running sluggish and turn it into one that's running as fast as a scalded dog is a talent that's part art and part science, but whatever the combination necessary to make it happen, there will always be strong demand for folks who are good at it.

In an earlier article I described how MySQL Enterprise takes the guesswork out of deciding which version of the MySQL server customers should be running by providing alerts around regularly scheduled Monthly Rapid Update and Quarterly Service Pack releases of the Enterprise Server. Being of an old school "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mindset, I understand the conservative approach most DBAs take when deciding if a new release of any software is relevant to their environment. In fact, given the monthly frequency of Enterprise maintenance releases and the work involved with upgrading, I completely understand how recipients can begin to ignore Update Alerts (unless of course a known fix is on the way). Based on feedback from customers, MySQL colleagues, and my own field experience, I recognize that while notifications around the regular Enterprise Server drops is a good thing, upgrading an existing MySQL implementation is no small task and that a major part of removing guesswork around new releases involves helping those receiving notifications better understand how they are affected.
