    An Interview with Zack Urlocker, MySQL
    和Zack Urlocker的一次对话http://www.linuxbyte.net/view.php?skin=news&ID=4840

    OrangeCrate is pleased to present an interview with Zack Urlocker, Vice Pres
    ident, Marketing for MySQL AB,
    Zack Urlocker: They are separate technologies. MaxDB is a great database for
    SAP R/3 applications. There are a couple of thousand companies running it t
    oday. It has its own replication fail over. The MySQL Cluster technology wor
    ks at the storage engine level for our flagship MySQL database server. But M
    axDB and MySQL are really two different code bases and we won't try to merge
    them.
    (Submitted by Chuck Talk Mon May 3, 2004 )
    OC:MYSQL成功地发展了MYSQL DB,但是除了传统的LINUX发行商比如REDHAT ,SUSE(现
    在归属NOVELL),MANDRAKE等等,最近还开始和许多知名技术公司,比如NOVELL,SAP,
    SUN合作,您能提前说说MYSQL的一贯发展方向吗?
    Zack Urlocker:当然,我们希望和许多公司合作营造一个适合MYSQL生存的环境,这点
    对其他人利用MYSQL生产产品,提供服务是重要的。我们不能包办所有的事情。不仅仅是
    大公司,我想还有相当多提供?小公司利用MYSQL的机会。我们启动了一个新的合作伙伴
    计划,一个新的合作WEB站点,还有许多象Quest Software's Toad for MySQL这样的创
    新产品,以及rackspace提供认证的mysql主机服务。
    OC:您认为明年什么是对MYSQL最重要的技术发展?
    Zack Urlocker:我想有两个主要的方向,第一,不论是我们还是我们合作伙伴的技术,
    我们想继续利用图形化工具使得它们容易使用。大多数公司从来没有足够时间去成为新
    技术的专家,所以拥有图形化工具极为有用;第二,切实迎合企业用户在象存储过程、
    触发器、视图、排序和集群这些特性方面的需要,MYSQL Cluster对我们和我们的客户都
    将是非常重要的。当然,为了应用这些特性,不一定必须是个大公司,它们对小机构也
    是有帮助的。
    OC:自从MYSQL AB发布MYSQL Cluster以来,您觉得MYSQL能够在关键任务应用的数据中
    心担当更加突出的角色吗?
    Zack Urlocker:当然,我认为我们可以做到。我们曾经历史性地造就了世界上最流行的
    数据库。因为WEB应用已经变成为更加关键的业务,那么MYSQL应用也许因为多样性或者
    在某些时候符合策略开始成熟而变得极为重要了,我认为MYSQL Cluster也付予客户"59
    's"可用性的能力,这对于电子商务和其他关键业务来说是重要的。
    OC:MYSQL Cluster包含来自MaxDB产品序列的技术吗,或许它们就是独立的两个产品序
    列?如果它们是独立的,MaxDB会不会在某些方面继承MYSQL Cluster的能力?
    Zack Urlocker:它们是独立的两个技术,MAXDB对SAP R/3应用来说是个很棒的数据库,
    目前有数千家公司在运行它。有它自己的响应错误恢复机制。MySQL Cluster(集群)技术
    在我们重要的(旗舰)MySQL数据库服务器上作为存储引擎运行着,但是MAXDB和MYSQL确实
    是基于两套不同的代码,我们不会把它们混为一谈。
    OC:我们熟知MYSQL对于ISV(独立软件供应商)社区是非常开放的,MYSQL目前在这方面有
    什么举动吗?有什么新的计划和想法将要实施呢?
    Zack Urlocker:我们已经在最近宣布了合作伙伴计划,它对ISV们来说更加易于操作。
    而且我们肯定会非常配合他们。对一个ISV来说,MYSQL正在变得比其他数据库重要而便
    宜,与其他一些数据库供应商不同,我们绝不会和合作伙伴竞争。
    OC:我的一个开发者要我告诉您,取回记录的limit特性是个"宝贝",他说这让生活变得
    很轻松,MYSQL 5将有其他新的特性来让开发者的生活更加轻松吗?
    Zack Urlocker:是的,limits真的很好,很多特性使我们在web开发者中非常流行,它
    是其中之一。MYSQL 4.1和5中有大量的新特性,一些是遵循标准企业级数据库特性的,
    比如存储过程,触发器,视图等,但是对开发者来说将总是有一些新的特性,我们认真
    地倾听了客户的意见,决定我们可以如何做以使他们轻松生活。
    OC:我挺满意MYSQL真正跨系统平台的能力。我们最近为一家教育实体在Mac OS X工作站
    上开发一个使用MYSQL数据的项目,它工作得无可挑剔。MYSQL Mac OS X数据库从一个W
    EB MYSQL接口导入数据,Mac用户可以无需跨平台转换就使用他们的数据,现在,MYSQL
    能在什么嵌入式平台上工作呢?
    Zack Urlocker:现在我们支持大约二十四个平台。所有常见的需要都支持。Mac, Wind
    ows, Linux, Netware, Solaris, AIX还有很多很多,我们会努力确定在所有平台上建立
    和实现完全的兼容。我们偶尔也着眼于一些非常传统的嵌入式平台(比如Palm OS),但它
    还不是我们的工作重点。不过,既然源代码是公开了的,如果有人想要移植到其他平台
    ,他们可以自己做这个事情,这就是开放代码的一个好处。
    OC:MYSQL实行的是双重许可模式,你们打算保持这种模式吗?或者将来你们有更进一步
    的想法?
    Zack Urlocker:双重许可是个好模式。它使我们得以建立一个真实的商业模式,这是关
    键,MYSQL始终是一个企业,我们认为这是要点。有更多的付费用户,我们才可以(有经
    济能力)做更多的开发。随着时间推移,我认为我们也要考虑看看提供附加服务的路子了
    ,但在很多方面,我们只是象其他软件公司一样,还好的是合作客户想付费以获得好的
    支持,培训等等。
    OC:最后,关于MYSQL或者你们未来计划,您有什么想和我的读者说的吗?
    Zack Urlocker:有件事我觉得真的很重要,就是一般所谓的开放代码和单独在此提到的
    MYSQL,是人们获得新技能和新职业成就的一个很棒的途径。你可以下载到这些软件,M
    YSQL或者任何来自LAMP软件群的一种软件,买几本书然后就可以开始学习能在事业中帮
    助到您的新技能,这就是我真的喜爱开放代码的一些原因。
    此外,如果您错过了在四月举行的MYSQL使用者大会,您依然可以找到有关这次会议的文
    章,而且我们也将利用Geekcruises.com再现一些属于MYSQL骄傲的内容,如果您在地中
    海旅游的话,这是个向创始人了解MYSQL的吸引人的机会,详情可以到MySQL Geek Crui
    ses找找看。
    OC:好,今天非常感谢ZACK您能百忙中和我对话
    Zack Urlocker:不客气!
    原文:
    OC Editor: MySQL has been very successfully developing the MySQL DB for some
    time now, but has recently begun partnering with many well-known technology
    companies such as Novell, SAP, Sun Microsystems in addition to the traditio
    nal Linux distributions such as Red Hat, SuSE (now Novell), Mandrake and oth
    ers. Do you foresee this trend continuing for MySQL?
    Zack Urlocker: Absolutely. We are keen to partner with many companies to bui
    ld out a MySQL ecosystem. It's important that other people build products, s
    ervices around MySQL; we can't do it all. And it's not only the larger compa
    nies. I think there are a lot of opportunities for new startups to be built
    around MySQL. So we've created a new partner program, a new partner web site
    , and there's a lot of innovation with products like Quest Software's Toad f
    or MySQL and Rackspace offering certified MySQL hosting.
    OC Editor: What do you think is the most important technology initiative for
    MySQL in the next year?
    Zack Urlocker: I think there are two major trends here. First of all, we wan
    t to continue to make the technology easier to use with graphical tools, whe
    ther they are from us or from our partners. Most companies never have enough
    time to become experts in new technology, so having graphical tools can hel
    p out a lot. That's one reason we introduced MySQL Administrator, but there'
    s plenty of room for other types of tools. The second big technology initiat
    ive is really about meeting the needs of enterprise customers with features
    like stored procedures, triggers, views, subqueries and clustering. MySQL Cl
    uster will be very important for us and for our customers. Of course, you do
    n't have to be a big company to use these features. They're helpful even for
    those in small organizations.
    OC Editor: As MySQL AB has released MySQL Cluster, do you see MySQL taking a
    more prominent role in Data Centers for mission-critical applications?
    Zack Urlocker: Yes, I think we'll expand there. Historically, we've been the
    world's most popular web database. As web applications have become more bus
    iness critical, so has MySQL. Applications that start off as maybe departmen
    tal or tactical sometimes grow up to be hugely important. So we've seen MySQ
    L applications migrate into the datacenter. I think MySQL Cluster also gives
    our customers the ability to have "5 9's" availability with MySQL, which is
    important for ecommerce, and other business critical applications.
    OC Editor: Does the MySQL Cluster include technology from the MaxDB(tm) prod
    uct line, or are they two separate lines? If they are, will the MaxDB inheri
    t the capabilities of the MySQL Cluster at some point?
    Zack Urlocker: They are separate technologies. MaxDB is a great database for
    SAP R/3 applications. There are a couple of thousand companies running it t
    oday. It has its own replication fail over. The MySQL Cluster technology wor
    ks at the storage engine level for our flagship MySQL database server. But M
    axDB and MySQL are really two different code bases and we won't try to merge
    them.
    OC Editor: MySQL is well known for being very open to the ISV (Independent S
    oftware Vendor) community and channel. What initiatives does MySQL have in p
    lace for the ISV channel today, and what new programs and ideas are coming o
    n in the near future?
    Zack Urlocker: We have announced our partner program recently that makes it
    easier to work with ISVs. And of course, we try to be very easy to work with
    . For a software ISV, MySQL is going to be an order of magnitude or two chea
    per than other databases. And unlike some of the other database vendors, we
    aren't going to compete with our partners.
    OC Editor: One of my developers has asked that I tell you that the limit fea
    ture is a "treasure" when retrieving records. He says this makes life a lot
    easier for him. What other new features are on the MySQL 5 release roadmap t
    hat will make life easier for developers?
    Zack Urlocker: Yeah, limits are really appreciated. Its one of the things th
    at helped make us very popular among web developers. There's a raft of new f
    eatures in MySQL 4.1 and in MySQL 5.0. Some of them are along the lines of t
    he "classic" enterprise database features, stored procedures, triggers, view
    s, etc., but there will always be new features for developers. We listen car
    efully to our customers to figure out how we can help make their lives easie
    r.
    OC Editor: I would like to congratulate MySQL for its true cross-platform ca
    pabilities. One of our projects was recently developed to use MySQL data on
    a Mac OS X workstation for an educational entity, and the product worked fla
    wlessly. The MySQL Mac OS X database imported data from a web MySQL interfac
    e and allows our Mac customers to have access to their data without any tran
    sformation or translation across platforms. What embedded platforms does MyS
    QL work on or with at this time?
    Zack Urlocker: Right now we support about two dozen platforms. All of the us
    ual suspects are supported: Mac, Windows, Linux, Netware, Solaris, AIX, and
    many, many more. We try to make sure we build and have full compatibility on
    all platforms. We also occasionally look at some of the traditional deeply
    embedded platforms (e.g. running on Palm OS) but it hasn't been a priority f
    or us. But since the source code is out there, if someone wants to port to o
    ther platforms, they can do that. That's one of the beauties of open source.

    OC Editor: MySQL has been shown the way with the dual-licensing model, do yo
    u plan to keep that model, or do you see any refinements as becoming necessa
    ry in the future?
    Zack Urlocker: Dual license is a good model. It enables us to have a real bu
    siness model, which is important. MySQL has always been a commercial busines
    s and we think it's important. The more paying customers, the more developme
    nt we can do. Over time, I think we will look at ways of offering additional
    services also, but in many respects we're just like other software companie
    s. And the good thing is corporate customers want to pay to get good support
    , training and so on.
    OC Editor: Finally, is there anything that you would like to say to my audie
    nce about MySQL or your future plans?
    Zack Urlocker: One of the things that I think is really important about open
    source in general and MySQL in particular, is it's a great way for people t
    o develop new skills and new careers. With MySQL or any of the LAMP stack, y
    ou can download the software, buy a couple of books and start learning new s
    kills that can help you in your career. That's something I really like about
    open source.
    Also, if you missed out on the MySQL Users Conference in April, you can stil
    l find blogs about the conference. And we'll also be recreating some of that
    content with Geekcruises.com putting on the MySQL Swell. It's kind of an in
    teresting opportunity to learn MySQL from the founders while on a Mediterran
    ean cruise. Check it out at:
    MySQL Geek Cruises
    OC Editor: Thanks Zack, for taking the time to talk with me today. It is app
    reciated.
    Zack Urlocker: My pleasure.
