Hello, as a follow up to OSCON I have arranged a chat with the MySQL development team. I met and talked with one of the founders of MySQL, David Axmark. I suggested that the Drupal community would like to learn how to better use MySQL as well as provide feedback to the developers so that they understand our requirements in the design of Drupal. I would like to put performance as one of the top points of discussion. David suggested a few topics as well: the optimizer, gui tools, PHP driver or the prepared statment support. Depending on what we want to talk about he will have the right team members attend the chat. Let's get a list of prioritized topics to discuss and then work on a mutual meeting time. Cheers, Kieran
