Have you stopped taking your medication again Tom?

It took me a while, but I've now worked out what you're talking 
about.  Most chuckliferous...

[libreoffice-documentation] Re: Placing Chapter 2 on my Alfresco dashboard

2012-03-17 Thread Tom
Hi :)
Thanks :) Since Jean fixed you up with a login so fast i thought i could
play.  I've always thought it odd that web-mistress sounds quite raunchy
whereas web-master doesn't.  Nowadays orgs here seem to prefer
web-designer as a gender-neutral term.  I've not heard of web-people
before (except some vague memory of an amusingly arty William Hartnell's
Dr-Who 3 or 4 parter and, of course, Spiderman ('real' name Peter Parker))
Regards from
Tom :)

[libreoffice-documentation] Base Chapter 2: Designing and planning your database

2012-03-17 Thread Hazel Russman
I have put a copy of this in the feedback folder on the ODF site. It contains 
Mark's comments on content and a lot of small stylistic changes by me. 

As a general comment, I don't agree with Dan's use of DBMS and RDBMS, as I 
think these terms should refer to software (such as Base), not to data. My 
preferred terms are database and relational database.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Base Chapter 2: Designing and planning your database

2012-03-17 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
I prefer the use of words rather than initials as long as those words are 
carefully defined earlier or in a glossary at the end (or both) so that people 
learn to use the correct words in the right way.  I think it's a fairly minor 
issue tho and i'm happy either way.
Regards from
Tom :)

[libreoffice-documentation] fyi Fw: [MariaDB Announce] MariaDB 5.5.21 beta now available

2012-03-17 Thread Tom Davies

The MariaDB project is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
MariaDB 5.5.21 beta. MariaDB 5.5.21 is the first beta release in the
5.5 series. We hope to follow it up soon with a 5.5 release candidate. 
Please test this release thoroughly!

MariaDB 5.5.21 beta is a merge of MariaDB 5.3 and MySQL 5.5 with some
limited additional bug fixes. This is the second 5.5-based release, and
we have some extra notable features including an improved thread pool,
an updated SphinxSE storage engine for fulltext search, and the ability
to selectively skip replication of binlog events. Extra features planned 
for MariaDB 5.5 will be pushed into subsequent releases.

**Do not use beta releases on production systems.**

== MariaDB 5.5.21 beta Release Notes, Changelog, Downloads ===

The release notes for MariaDB 5.5.21 beta are available at:
    http://kb.askmonty.org/en/mariadb-5521-release-notes

A changelog for this release is available at:

Sources, binaries and packages can be downloaded from:

== About MariaDB 5.5 ==

The MariaDB 5.5 series is the combination of MariaDB 5.3 and MySQL 5.5.

Please read the What is MariaDB 5.5 page for details:
    http://kb.askmonty.org/en/what-is-mariadb-55


== SkySQL and MariaDB: Solutions Day ==

We'll be co-hosting the the SkySQL  MariaDB: Solutions Day for the
MySQL® Database one day event on 13 April, 2012, at the Hyatt Regency
Santa Clara. 

During this event, attendees will receive free, hands-on training and
consulting on MariaDB and MySQL® database solutions from the experts at
SkySQL, MariaDB, Continuent, ScaleDB, Severalnines, Sphinx, and Webyog,
among others. SkySQL and MariaDB will bring together industry
visionaries, including Michael (Monty) Widenius and David Axmark, the
original authors of the MySQL database, to share their insights on
current and future trends pertaining to the world's most popular open
source database.

To learn more about this free event, visit
    http://www.skysql.com/events/mysql-solutions-day

The schedule for the event is here:
    http://www.skysql.com/events/mysql-solutions-day/schedule

Attendees are also invited to participate in Drizzle Day – a parallel
event co-hosted by SkySQL, Percona, and the Drizzle Development Team,
featuring tutorials on the Drizzle database.


== User Feedback plugin ===

MariaDB includes a User Feedback plugin. This plugin is disabled by
default. If enabled, it submits basic, completely anonymous MariaDB
usage information. This information is used by the developers to track
trends in MariaDB usage to better guide development efforts.

If you would like to help make MariaDB better, please add
--plugin-load=feedback.so to your my.cnf file! On Windows, add
feedback=ON to your my.ini file, or click the checkbox during the
installation of the MSI package.

See http://kb.askmonty.org/en/user-feedback-plugin for more information.

== Quality 

The project always strives for quality, but in reality, nothing is
perfect. Please take time to report any issues you encounter at:
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/maria

Hi :)
Was it the beta version that stopped working or a previous release and did you 
try asking the MariaDb forums?

From a CS point of view at least, you are right.  DBMS (DataBase
Management System) / RDBMS
(Relational DataBase Management System) are terms that refer to the
software that manages
databases, while database is meant to refer to the data that is being managed.

RDBMS would be your HSQLDB, MySQL, Sqlite or whatever.

I don't think Base should be described as a RDBMS though, it is just
a frontend to several of
them.

Cheers,
Pantelis
