Well, here we are … the first post to the InnoDB blog. Now there is a blog dedicated solely to InnoDB products and technology. The Innobase team will be posting here regularly on all manner of topics regarding the InnoDB storage engine. We plan to provide timely updates and important technical information about InnoDB-related products including the built-in InnoDB distributed by MySQL, the InnoDB Plugin and InnoDB Hot Backup. We invite you to visit regularly and post your comments.
We’ve borrowed the name “Transactions on” from the computer-science journal Transactions on Database Systems, published by the ACM society for computing professionals. Like that journal, this blog will cover a wide range of database topics, specifically as they relate to InnoDB.
Users of InnoDB know a transaction is an atomic all-or-nothing set of changes made to a collection of data. But according to Webster’s Dictionary, a transaction also is “a communicative action or activity involving two parties or things that reciprocally affect or influence each other”. So, a transaction is also an exchange of ideas.
Welcome to this place to transact in ideas about InnoDB!
