MySQL Database Analytics with InfiniDB from Calpont – Part 2
In Part 1 of this article, I took you through some of the reasons why a column-oriented database based on MySQL can be compelling. We also examined the architecture of InfiniDB, which is an open source analytic, reporting, and read-intensive database, and how its modular design helps you scale both up and out. Now let’s kick the tires of the database so you can see these things in action.

Yes, working with big databases is not a lot of fun.

With classic PHP web forms, a user is required to enter information in the form and then press the submit button. The PHP script will then validate the data …
Package managers
Just thinking of how many package managers, each with a unique syntax, I try to remember how to use:

I’m sure I’m forgetting some. Standardisation?
