So Kim Burchett is working at StreamBase ...

I wonder how new that "new class of systems software" really is - and how many lines of code it will take in Q or even A+ to replicate their functionality (7? ;-) ... but I fear we'll have to wait until the StreamBase site isn't password-protected any more. Until then, I'll have the top spot for [create StreamSQL]. Woo-hoo!

Some tidbits from Amazon's internal DevCon (blogged here):

MySQL/NDB "will have attribute storage for blogs."

"partition engine that can use any other storage engine underneath (partition based on range, hash, etc.)." — Source.

Partitioning! That definitely won't please Oracle ...

No one-of configuration. Change classes of configurations,never individual machines. Made changes to Linux, FHS, LSB. Read-only root filesystem.
