Title:<\/strong>MySQL database administration for non DBAs<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong> MySQL is incredibly ubiquitous. MySQL database administrators are not everywhere; MySQL is. Often MySQL is run to power a small web site or two, an application or two, or run on a machine purely for someone else’s use (and the install made MySQL just work so you don’t have to care). This session goes over the things you need to know about your MySQL installations to keep them healthy without burdening you with work, including MySQL Basics, installation, security, backup, restore, performance and upgrades.<\/p>\n
