What’s different about XtraDB?
The video of my 5-minute Ignite talk on XtraDB is up on YouTube. Ignite talks have exactly 20 slides on auto-advance every 15 seconds. “Enlighten us, and make it fast!” It’s better than a lightning talk. I explained the difference between Percona XtraDB and other technologies such as standard MySQL, OurDelta, and MariaDB.
Thanks for the video! I didn’t know (much) about the relations between different MySQL patchsets (or what is the best way to call Percona, Maria and OurDelta?). Could you explain in more detail about the extent of code exchange between MariaDB and Percona? There’s a difficult situation with the availability of Percona patched MySQL 5.1 on my distro of choice (Gentoo) and it seems that getting to Percona patches in the 5.1 branch could be easiest by using the MariaDB ebuild.
I also wonder if there will be an embedded-xtradb by Percona … TIA for the answers ;)

I haven’t kept up with exactly which changes from Percona Server have made it into MariaDB, but their wiki should clarify that. The Percona Server roadmap is at http://www.percona.com/docs/wiki/percona-server:roadmap

Thanks! One more question, will Percona ever release the 5.1 branch of the server as patches to MySQL? Or are you going to release only the whole package?
TIA, Pavel

All the source is on launchpad. Launchpad’s interface terrifies me, so I haven’t looked at how it’s managed there.

Ha never mind xtradb…
“Ignite talks have exactly 20 slides on auto-advance every 15 seconds. “Enlighten us, and make it fast!” “
Wow that’s my big take-home from this page. I love it. 4mins is perfect. Very nice thinking.
Thx!

oop 20x15secs = 5mins.
Still using a pentium with FDIV error, honest.
