As a developer there are times you may need to use MySQL 5.7 but have it backwards compatible with MySQL 5.6, so that existing applications work as before. This is a collection from multiple sources, that seems to get everything to work fine
This is an idea that has been growing in my mind, and I seem to finally have a handle on it. I have been a professional PHP web developer for the last 12 years, and have gone through the learning and transition cycles from learning a new language from Visual Basic 6 and MS Access to Java/JSP/Servlets to PHP, and developing in the language from direct database access using mysql_query through a custom developed database class into Zend Framework for 2 years with Doctrine 1 and 2 ORMs.
It is just Day 2 of my experiences in the trenches, regular work, had kept me from this but I managed to get some time to keep digging. As a followup to my Doctrine 2 - Day 1 - Commentary from the Trenches. The models are up and configured, and the unit testing is setup following steps from Michelangelo van Dam’s presentation (http://www.slideshare.net/DragonBe/unit-testing-zend-framework-apps).
There is just too much going on so I thought I should put these thoughts down so that I do not lose my mind from the excitement and anticipation that comes from things moving very fast and innovation being spured at a pace which is mind boggling.
This is a rebuttal for Right conclusion, wrong reasons (http://bit.ly/oULuaz ) for an ORM being an anti-pattern.
MySQL (http:/www.mysql.com), the web database formely fully open source, then bought by Sun for $1bn, which was then swallowed by the all mighty database giant Oracle (http://www.oracle.com) is finally growing up.
Google the king of search has made the speed of websites and page loading a key actor in ranking. This coupled with the need to use 3rd party frameworks for front end development, like JQuery, MooTools, Scriptalicious, Yahoo YUI, to support the multitiude of browsers has a larger burden web developers.
On a client project, a new server has been provisioned 400GB HDD, 32GB RAM, Intel Xeon 5660 processor, CentOS 5 all in a virtual machine.
