MySQL Query Analyzer

Given how the product’s rollout has been handled, it seems necessary to comment on MySQL’s recently released MySQL Query Analyzer without actually having much information on the subject. Mark Callaghan offers a good take — he’s generally very favorable, but notes that MySQL has some limitations that Query Analyzer has trouble getting around.

    It should be noted that MySQL Query Analyzer is part of MySQL Enterprise, which is not open source

    There’s unspoken non-news related to the MySQL Enterprise Fall 2008 release at conference: MySQL Enterprise is *still* based on MySQL (open source) 5.0, which came out over three years ago, the same month as Microsoft SQL Server 2005! I’m at a loss to understand Sun’s slowness to bring out 5.1 in a GA release.

    (I wrote about this a couple of months ago here: http://www.intelligententerprise.com/blog/archives/2008/09/infobright_kick.html .)

    The closed-source aspect should surprise nobody.

    But yeah, upgrading a DBMS from “sort of adequate” to “really industrial-strength” is haaaard. And it’s not obvious that many of the MySQL folks had done that before setting out along this path.
