We are implementing three or four MySql servers (as a start) and I'm writing the Troubleshooting Guide for our operational staff. None of these folks have any MySQL experience (and I'm a newbie myself). I need a pretty basic 'Cheat Sheet' for troubleshooting common production type problems.
The staff is all very technical - Senior level Oracle DBAs - I'm going to have to drag them kicking and screaming into the MySQL world :-)
Thanks in advance. I'm having fun with this tool, I'm looking forward to see how it does in production.
It will do awesome, it always has for me anyway! I'd say the best general guide is the mysql.com website, very informtive and intuitive.
No, Evelyn's request is a good one. I use MySQL day to day for some very different applications and have little trouble with it. Others coming to it from so-called "real" database backgrounds try to make it behave like Oracle and it rebels.
There are design and code considerations that just make life easier for the programmer and the DBA. As with any database (ask a Sybase DBA!)
The mod_perl support mailing list, led by Stas Bekman, produced the "mod_perl guide" with community support that recently led to an 800+ page O'Reilly book. I'd like to see something like this for MySQL: for those beyond basic web applications and trying to make their lives easier.
Um, does this make sense?
