MySQL’s storage engine program picks up steam
Matthew Aslett, April 15, 2008 @ 8:24 am ETThe solidDB for MySQL database engine for MySQL may have lost its sponsor following IBM’s acquisition of Solid Info Tech but events at this week’s MySQL Conference and Expo prove the certified engines program is alive and well.
Not only has Oracle announced that its Innobase subsidiary has updated InnoDB transactional storage engine, but there is also a new member of the certified engines program.
Kickfire has recently emerged from stealth mode with its data warehousing appliance based on MySQL, column-store software, data compression, and a proprietary SQL processor.
Additionally, another potential new storage engine partner emerged in the form of ScaleDB, which is promising to deliver its new scalable storage engine for MySQL in the fourth quarter of this year.
Then of course there will be MySQL’s own Falcon engine, which entered beta testing in March and will be available with MySQL 6.0.
