On Friday, February 15, 2013 10:00am Pacific Standard Time, I will be delivering a webinar entitled “Building a highly scaleable distributed row, document or column store with MySQL and Shard-Query”
The first part of this webinar will focus on why distributed databases are needed, and on the techniques employed by Shard-Query to implement a distributed MySQL database. The focus will then proceed to the types of distributed (massively parallel processing) database applications which can be deployed with Shard-Query and the performance aspects of each.
The following types of implementations will be described:
- Distributed row store using XtraDB cluster
- Distributed append-only column store using Infobright Community Edition
- Distributed “document store” using XtraDB cluster and Flexviews
