There’s a lot of excitement around NoSQL Data Stores with the promise of simple access patterns, flexible schemas, scalability and High Availability. The downside comes in the form of losing ACID transactions, consistency, flexible queries and data integrity checks. What if you could have the best of both worlds? This session shows how MySQL Cluster provides simultaneous SQL and native NoSQL access to your data – whether a simple key-value API (Memcached), REST, JavaScript, Java or C++. You will hear how the MySQL Cluster architecture delivers in-memory real-time performance, 99.999% availability, on-line maintenance and linear, horizontal scalability through transparent auto-sharding.

Please note that this talk replaces one entitled "ENOMEM: Will databases ever stop asking for more memory" which was to have been given by Raghavendra Prabhu. Regrettably Raghu has withdrawn from the event on account of Visa appliance delay.

The ever increasing performance demands of web-based services has generated significant interest in providing NoSQL access methods to MySQL - enabling users to maintain all of the advantages of their existing relational database infrastructure, while providing blazing fast performance for simple queries, using an API to complement regular SQL access to their data. This session looks at the existing NoSQL access methods for MySQL as well as the latest developments for both the InnoDB and MySQL Cluster storage engines. See how you can get the best of both worlds - persistence, consistency, rich queries, high availability, scalability and simple, flexible APIs and schemas for agile development

Attend this session to learn the basics of MySQL Cluster: when to use it and when not to use it. MySQL Cluster is a write-scalable, real-time, Highly Available, ACID (atomicity, consistency, isolation, durability)–compliant transactional database combining 99.999 percent availability with the low TCO of open source. Developers and DBAs attending this session will have a chance to familiarize themselves with MySQL Cluster and better understand how to use it to meet the database challenges of next-generation Web, cloud, and communications services with uncompromising scalability, uptime, and agility.
