I just completed my week long training “MySQL for Database Administrators” at Sun Microsystems, Santa Clara. Now, I am back at work.
It’s almost amazing how much this training can transform you. It’s one thing to build applications using MySQL, but a totally different perspective is required to administer a MySQL database. Yes, your development team is almost going to hate you for this.
Anyway, this course is about how MySQL works, the ultimate truth. And how you can turn that to your advantage. Some very interesting topics covered are NDB Cluster and Blackhole storage engines and database and server optimization. You also get to try out hands-on replication, backup and recovery techniques and such.
For this training, they also offered their new hands-on MySQL DBA 5.1 certification at the end of the course.
Yes, I passed.
