When puppies attack!

When puppies attack! 12/19/2004 02:59 PM

« Jarkko holds our eagerly awaited new baby. :) An entire gallery filled with adorable Saint Bernard puppies. »

We took a trip to southern Sweden this weekend to visit the litter of puppies we liked and to pick one along with the usual things you look at when selecting a breeder. The breeders, Lasse and Sussi, asked us to stay at their house and were really terrific people. As soon as we saw those 9 adorable little furry faces looking up at us any doubt we might have had disappeared. Of course, 9 puppies who are 7 weeks old and who are just getting their teeth in along with the teething that goes with them are dangerous creatures to everything within range of their mouths. :) We spent a few hours getting to know the furry piraņa and decided on the puppy we liked originally from the pictures. We haven't picked a name for him yet, we'll just have to see what comes to us as a fitting name.

We have to wait until the first week of January to bring him home because of the EU regulations, in spite of Sweden being a rabies-free country, requiring that the puppy have a rabies vaccination before entering Finland. So, we must wait 5 long weeks until we can bring him home so he can fill the house with hair, drool, chew toys and all those familiar St. Bernard sounds that we miss so much. :) Happiness is a warm, fuzzy puppy.

MySQL Kicks Puppies And Steals From The
Elderly 09/06/2004 04:37 PM

Chu Yeow rounds up a couple of sites that have a bone to pick with MySQL. They outline a couple of them that I didn't know about that sound like real scalability problems, like:

• Making changes to a table definition causes a temporary copy of the table to be created. If you have a very large table, that could be a problem.
• Hanging up on a long running query doesn't stop it. If one of your queries goes broken arrow, you have to use mysqladmin to shut it down.

Chu has this to say:

I work extensively with MySQL and there are times when I wish for stuff like referential integrity (available with InnoDB tables, but most hosts don?t provide it) so I don?t have to code constraint checks in the application. [...] And after reading [these MySQL gotchas], I?ll never trust what MySQL does to my data again (silently change my data would you, mysqld?

This is definitely stuff that you need to keep in mind when you're writing apps that use MySQL. While it's not always feasible, it's always smart to code your apps to be able to use multiple storage mechanisms. I don't completely follow with Chu's take, though, that MySQL can't be trusted. You just have to know what it is you're dealing with when you start using it. Some of the MySQL folks will tell you that MySQL is great for everything. Nothing is great for everything.
