Several months ago I wrote about logs on demand in MySQL 5.1. Now that 5.1 is approaching its maturity stage, I am happy to report that this feature has proven itself very handy and useful. Petr Chardin will talk about this very feature at the MySQL Conference and Expo. |
While reviewing the material for this session, I remembered a usability report that I wrote when the feature was announced. Among other things I wrote that you can create ad hoc log files for separate needs, but you can't do the same thing for tables. This reminds me of a general rule of technology: "If a respected scientist says a thing is possible, you can be almost certain he's right. If an established, respected scientist tells you that something is impossible, he's almost certainly wrong." I was wrong. It can be done. To know how, attend the aforementioned session, or wait until I post an a follow-up to this post after the conference.
