Oracle MySQL Engineer Ulf Wendel delivered yesterday a talk about
his Proof of Concept at the International
PHP Conference in Berlin entitled: “HTTP, JSON, JavaScript, Map and Reduce
built-in to MySQL - make it happen, today.”
The presentation has been featured today on the home page of
SlideShare, both into the “Hot on
Facebook” and “Hot on Twitter” sections. Well done, Ulf! Especially just before
the wedding…:)
Presentation abstract: See how a MySQL Server plugin can be
developed to build all this into MySQL. A new direct wire between MySQL and
client-side JavaScript is created. MySQL speaks HTTP, replies JSON and offers
server-side JavaScript. Server-side JavaScript gets access to MySQL data and
does Map&Reduce of JSON documents stored in MySQL. Fast? 2-4x faster than
proxing client-side JavaScript request through PHP/Apache. Reasonable
results...
