Series/Tournaments: Indian Premier League
Teams: India | Pune Warriors
Sourav Ganguly, the Pune Warriors captain, has said the side does not need an immediate post-mortem after their disastrous IPL season ended on Saturday with a ninth consecutive defeat, to Kolkata Knight Riders. Warriors won only four matches in 2012, the same as in their maiden season in 2011, out of 16 and finished last.
"Any post-mortem that needs to be done should be done after some time," Ganguly said. "Right now, the boys need to get away from here and go back to their respective homes. It's very hard for them too. They have been selected to win matches and that hasn't happened. It's a new franchise and things will only get better from here on. We need to look at a lot of things like team selection."
Wayne Parnell, the South Africa and Warriors fast bowler, said that wrong selection and injuries to key players were major reasons for the franchise's poor showing. "There are a number of factors. We have missed Yuvi [Yuvraj Singh]. We have had key guys injured throughout the season. Graeme Smith has been injured. [Ashok] Dinda started off really well, picked up an injury and has been out for some time. I think Murali Kartik's back stiffened up; Alfonso Thomas is injured as well. That combined with probably picking the wrong teams for certain pitches.
"At the end of the day we are professional cricketers and on every wicket we need to try and win games but this season we have been really, really poor. I thought last year we had injuries to local players, especially fast bowlers, which set us back a bit. I honestly thought we would do better [this season]. We showed that in our first few games. We then lost a few tight games and it went pear-shaped from there."
Robin Uthappa, the Warriors wicketkeeper and highest run-getter this season, believed that the Pune pitch also added to the side's woes. "It's the toughest wicket we have played in the country and it's very difficult to score runs here. Hopefully, it gets better and we have belters next season."
With his side struggling, Ganguly's individual performance also drew criticism. He scored 268 runs from 15 innings but was unable to accelerate with a strike-rate of 98.89. Parnell said that while having Ganguly's experience in the squad had been "massive", it did not matter who played as long as he performed. "It does not matter who you have in the team, whether you have Sourav Ganguly or a 20-year old Indian guy, if he is going to score runs or take wickets you got to pick him."
Uthappa said Ganguly had done the best he could do. "You have to respect his age well. It's the format that is most challenging for someone of his age," Uthappa told iplt20.com. "He has done a wonderful job for us in whatever capacity he could."
Uthappa also said Warriors were involved in several close games but could not finish them. "There were so many games where we won 35 overs out of 40 … we played close games this year, but on the whole, we were bad. As a unit, we never felt we were not up to the mark. We had quality players, we were a very strong side, but somehow results never showed that. Even the atmosphere in the dressing room was very positive. We lost games by five runs or seven runs, even by one run. Those kinds of defeats hit you hard. We couldn't come back from there.
Warriors had let their supporters down, Uthappa said, after they came out in large numbers in Pune despite their franchise losing consistently. "We want to apologise to the people in Pune. Even the afternoon games were full and they didn't mind coming to support us in insane heat. There were so many times that we kept telling ourselves that lets win games for them, they sit in so much heat and support us."

Another storage security misadventure
Monday, 9 January 2006, 2:11 PM EST
Now that it's the first week of January, I probably should be looking at the storage excitement that 2006 has already brought us, such as what's happening at Storage Decision and CES in Las Vegas. But 2005 went out with a bang that's impossible to ignore.

Back To School: Lunchbox Inspiration
Today was the first day of school and I made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for my kid. By the end of the year I will have made about 200-some odd peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. My hope had always been that making interesting lunches for my picky eater would encourage her to eat a wider variety of things. What appears to happen is a lot of food ends up in the garbage. Still, our options have slowly grown over the years.

Twin Line is a combination of faucet and filter which allows the same water source to be used for two distinct purposes. The two water outlets have hinged fittings. By turning the lever to one side, the faucet is turned on while the filter is activated by displacing the lever to the opposite side. The water is filtered through an innovative carbon block system which reduces chlorine taste and odors and removes particulate matter.
In places with acute water shortage, storing and rationing water is the norm. But space constraints often limit how much water people can store. Stacket, a square bucket that stacks, is almost 18% more space efficient as compared to the conventional circular bucket. This vertical storage solution gives families an affordable yet beautiful solution to enhance their daily life, and is geared to consumers in India who have small bathroom space. The Stacket is primarily designed for water storage but has other uses around the home.
The SMARTCART™ Wet Dry Vacuum Cleaner provides unique storage solutions. For example, accessory nozzles and the hose are housed in drawers while the power cord and extension wands are stowed on the back. Cleaning supplies, spray bottles and wipes can be placed in the pull-out bin. A slide-out drum makes cleaning the filter simple and easy.
This hanger prevents laundered clothes from sliding down the clothes line, providing space optimization while avoiding hanger marks. It ensures adequate drying of all kinds of garments and reduces ironing time.

Karbon is an articulating kitchen faucet with an integrated spray nozzle. It can be fully extended to fill large pots, lowered into the sink for food preparation and cleanup, compactly folded and placed out of the way when not in use, or positioned anywhere in between.

Working visas
We welcome the diversity and wealth of experience that overseas applicants bring to our hospitals and health services.
There are a number of visa options available to nurses and midwives entering WA.
WA Health is able to assist with sponsorship for temporary or permanent visas. However, please note sponsorship is currently only negotiated with experienced nurses and midwives applying for positions in areas of critical shortage, ie midwifery, mental health, paediatrics, and regional areas.
To apply for sponsorship, you must do the following:
- Get registered as a Registered Nurse or Midwife with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia

Overseas registered nurses and midwives can view the range of non-sponsored visa options available to them, including Working Holiday Visas at Department of Immigration and Citizenship (external site). However, WA Health encourages all overseas nurses and midwives to follow the steps above, even if not applying for a sponsored visa.

A 34-year-old man accused of leading others to believe he was a stock broker, allegedly scamming several people out of thousands of dollars, has pleaded not guilty.
A judge also rule there is enough evidence for the case against Andy Vang, formerly of Weston, to head to trial.
According to the criminal complaint, most alleged victims invested a minimum of $10,000 to buy what they though were stock in Apple, Google, and Hewlett Packard.
Prosecutors say the victims were lead to believe Vang worked for a Madison investment firm; when in fact, he had no affiliation, despite business cards and letterhead he had been using.
In one case, Vang is accused of telling someone if they bought $30,000 worth of Google they'd receive $1.9 million back.
The scheme may have gone back as far as 2008, with another completely false claim.
"Mr. Vang's conduct is quite egregious. Prior to 2009 Mr. Vang was telling people he was a medical doctor to gain their trust. He provided a business card saying he was a medical doctor and medical director of St. Clare's in Weston. He is not a medical doctor," explained Marathon County Assistant District Attorney Chad Minder during Vang's first court appearance.
When the company Vang said he worked for began getting calls from suspected victims about their investments, it sent a letter to the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions alerting them of the possible scam. And this case may just be the tip of the iceberg.
"There will be several significant more charges coming. In addition to that, I am informed that there are other victims who are family members who do not want to file a complaint against Mr. Vang who he stole their money from. In total in this scheme he has stolen over $170,000," Said Minder.
Vang faces 53 charges altogether, including identity theft and fraud.
If convicted on all charges, Vang faces 139 years in prison.
A future court date has not yet been set.

The main window lets you paste the targeted URL address, after which the files you want to grab are all queued and will be saved to the specified location, one after the other.

You can also opt for a preferred output format and quality, with multiple available choices, such as MP3, FLV, WEBM or 3GP in 1080, 720, 480, 360, or 240p.
The next step consists of locating the playlist you want to save to your computer. You can copy the URL address from your browser, then press on the 'Paste URL' button in the utility's main window and YouTube Playlist Downloader will ask you whether you want to grab all of them.

One of the most controversial authors of twentieth-century Germany, Juenger rejects the liberal values of liberty, security, ease, and comfort, and seeks instead the measure of man in the capacity to withstand pain and sacrifice. Juenger heralds the rise of a breed of men who--equipped with an unmatched ability to treat themselves and others in a cold and detached way--become one with new, terrorizing machines of death and destruction in human-guided torpedoes and manned airborne missiles, and whose "peculiarly cruel way of seeing," resembling the insensitive lens of a camera, anticipates the horrors of World War II. With a preface by Russell A. Berman and an introduction by translator David C. Durst, this remarkable essay not only provides valuable insights into the cult of courage and death in Nazi Germany, but also throws light on the ideology of terrorism today.Early Praise for On Pain"With this superbly introduced and meticulously translated edition of On Pain, scholars will have access to a key Juenger text, which demonstrates his uncanny ability not only to analyze the ruptures and crises brought about by modernity in his day, but also to anticipate world-historical phenomena that critical social theory still grapples with in the twenty-first century."--Elliot Neaman, Professor of History, University of San Francisco, and author of A Dubious Past: Ernst Juenger and the Politics of Literature after Nazism"Juenger represents a way of thinking about those things we fear the most....This excellent translation introduces readers to a work of primary importance that will open a new perspective on human experience to all who read it in this volume."--Marcus Bullock, Professor Emeritus of English, The University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, and author of The Violent Eye: Ernst Juenger's Visions and Revisions on the European Right"Until Telos Press's newly translated edition of Juenger's On Pain, there has been no clear-cut introduction to this, his vital critique of social liberalism and the culture of modernity, for scholars of literary, military, and intellectual history. Important yet contentious, On Pain offers a perfect entry point for readers unfamiliar with Juenger the political essayist, focusing upon such issues and ideas as torture and terror, horror and affliction."--John Armitage, Principal Lecturer of Media & Communication, Northumbria University, United Kingdom, and Founder and Co-Editor of Cultural Politics"In On Pain, Ernst Juenger shifts a code word of modern subjectivity, derived from Nietzsche and Baudelaire, into the realm of phenomenological objectivity. His 'pain' no longer emphasizes the liberal gesture of 'me, me,' but rather the affirmation of the anonymous condition of the soldier in modern war and the worker in industrial production.... Unique insight into the cruel phenomena of the twentieth century and pre-fascist impulses coalesce in a gaze both analytic and fantastic."--Karl Heinz Bohrer, Professor of Aesthetics and European Literature, University of Bielefeld CERTAIN CONTENT THAT APPEARS ON THIS SITE COMES FROM AMAZON SERVICES LLC.

GreatSchools Rating
I am very concerned about environmental safety at Eastside. I would like to know the percentage of children who have developed illnesses due to the pollution in this school. There are students that were well prior to the start of classes who have developed a number of respiratory problems, skin problems, headaches and other ailments since attending classes at Eastside. Having classes on stage because the classroom is flooded is not the answer. I am very concerned that repeated exposure to this environment will cause repeated illnesses and place more students at risk for health problems due to weakened immune systems.School should be closed until repairs are made and the environment is safe. Our children should not have to choose between being well and healthy v/s obtaining an educaation.

NEW YORK (AP) - Intelligence officials say the terrorist operative who contacted an Afghan immigrant accused of plotting a New York attack was the head of Afghanistan's al-Qaida operations.
The U.S. officials say Mustafa Abu al-Yazid (moo-STAH'-fah AH'-boo ahl yah-ZID') used an intermediary to contact the 24-year-old Najibullah Zazi, of Colorado, as he hatched a plot to attack New York's mass transit system.
The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because the case remains under investigation.
Al-Yazid is an Egyptian, an al-Qaida founder and a confidant of Osama bin Laden. The officials declined to describe his specific interaction with Zazi.
Zazi has pleaded not guilty to conspiring to use weapons of mass destruction.

New Clip Added, "Squirt In My Mouth"
Magelene St Michaels and I get together for some worry wet fun. She and I have worked together a few times but nothing like this scene. She had heard that I was a squirter and in the past when we worked together I did not squirt. She had told me that she had heard about the famous squirting scene of me with Sunny lane and she wanted to top that. So, we went at hard and she made me squirt over and over again nto her mouth, it was exciting. 22 minutes You can see it on my store. Deauxmastore.com Clip199
New Clip Added
I have just added a new clip to my on-line store Deauxmastore.com Clip197, "Strap It On" with my sexy Asian girlfriend Minka. This is the first time Minka has ever used a strap-on and it was funny to watch her use it on me. Also, she did not know that I was a squirter. She and I have filmed together a couple of times, but I have never squirted with her until now. She was a bit shocked when I did it, she thought I peed on her.

SHERMAN, TX - Hundreds of Texomans are supporting Chick-Fil-A this morning by eating at the restaurant in Sherman.
Our reporter who was just at the scene says the drive-through line extends from the restaurant back to the Wal-Mart parking lot. A Sherman police officer there says restaurant managers expect this to be their biggest sales day yet. People we talked to say they're mostly there to support the company's right to free speech.
"We support Chick-Fil-A and their traditional family values. We believe they should have the same freedom of speech that everybody else should have," one patron told us.
The company has been criticized for the anti-gay marriage comments that were recently made by a company executive. Some gay rights groups have called for boycotts of the restaurant. We had calls today of groups that will be heading to the Sherman Chick Fil-A later to also show their support.
We'll have more on this later today.

Guimarães, Portugal, July 6, 2013 – Portugal only needed two points today to secure third place in Pool C and a spot in the 2014 FIVB Volleyball World League, but Korea blocked those hopes, winning 3-1 (25-18, 22-25, 25-23, 25-21) delaying all the decisions until Sunday's match.
"Congratulations to Korea since they played very well," said Portugal's coach Flavio Gulinelli. "On the other hand, we didn't. We failed many attacks and services and we showed several fragilities in easy plays, that we shouldn't miss."
Korea took the lead with the first point of the first set, and continued their momentum throughout the game.
"We entered well in the match and made a good exhibition," said Korea's coach Ki-Won Park. "We controlled the game and we're pleased with this three points, since it was our goal and allow us to continue to pursuit the third place in the pool."
"It was a good match and we won it with all the merit," said Korea's captain Lee Sun-Kyu.
Portual will try again tomorrow to secure a third place finish in Pool C.
"Obviously I am not pleased with the match," said Portugal's captain Joao Jose. "We made errors, but I believe that we can win tomorrow."

Jail for stun gun robbers; COURTS: Masked gang locked up over pounds 40,000 raids.
FOUR armed robbers who were part of a "stun gun stun gun, hand-held electronic device that produces a high-voltage pulse that can immobilize a person for several minutes with no permanent damage in most cases. gang" which targeted supermarkets and shops were today behind bars.
Brothers Jahmine and Andrew Lee For other persons named Andrew Lee, see Andrew Lee (disambiguation).
Andrew Lee (born July 1, 1986) is a player with the Essendon Bombers in the Australian Football League. together with Patrick Green Patrick Green VC (1824- 19 July 1889) was born in Ballinasloe, County Galway and was an Irish recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces. and Nyah Williams, all from Birmingham, were jailed for between six and eight years for their part in a series of terrifying raids on stores across the West Midlands.
Over a five-month period last year the masked gang struck a dozen times, hitting supermarkets, a convenience store and fast-food restaurant.
They used the same method - bursting in and threatening staff with weapons including a handheld electric stun gun, hammers and knives.
One supermarket was raided three times and another twice.
In total they escaped with about pounds 40,000 and blew the lot on a champagne lifestyle.
Sentencing the four men, who are all from Birmingham, Judge Salomonsen who told them: "Despite your attempts to disguise yourselves, police apprehended at least some of the conspirators CONSPIRATORS. Persons guilty of a conspiracy. See 3 Bl. Com. 126-71 Wils. Rep. 210-11. See Conspiracy. .
"Your prison sentences will be a deterrent to others minded to commit this sort of offence."
Stephen Thomas Stephen Thomas (December 6, 1809 – December 18, 1903), manufacturer, politician, jurist, and Union Army officer. He was a recipient of the Medal of Honor for gallantry. Early life
Thomas was born in Bethel, Vermont, the son of John and Rebecca (Batchellor) Thomas. , prosecuting at Birmingham Crown Court, said after the stun gun was left behind at one of the raids involving Jahmine Lee, others became involved and continued the crime spree, arming themselves with hammers and knives.
But several gang members were caught after a taskforce of detectives was formed at Rose Road Police Station, Harborne.
Jahmine, Lee, 27, of Sundridge Avenue, Newtown, Andrew Lee, 20, of Sandy House, Soho, Handsworth and 27-year-old Green, of Rilstone Road, Quinton, each pleaded guilty to conspiracy to rob.
Jahmine Lee accepted he had taken part in robberies at a newsagents in Wisley Way, Quinton, on January 30 last year and 90 minutes later at Somerfield supermarket in Handsworth, where the manager was forced to open the safe and pounds 30,000 was stolen.
He also accepted he was part of the gang that targeted Lidl, in Hamstead, on February 20 and the Somerfield supermarket again on March 31. He said he took part in the latter because of a debt he owed to the "wrong people" that saw him slashed across the face.
He was jailed for eight years. Dad-of-two Andrew Lee admitted he was behind raids on Lidl and Somerfield supermarkets in March 2008, and a sex shop in Birmingham days later but said he had become involved because of a dif-ficult financial situation. He was jailed for six years.
Green, a dad-of-three, also accepted taking part in a raid on the other two Somerfield stores in March and, in May, at another Lidl store out of "financial desperat ion".
His was jailed for eight years and handed an extended period of licence after the judge deemed him a risk to the public.
Dad-of-one Williams, 20, of Westcott Road, Sheldon, was found guilty of robbery at a McDonalds restaurant in Telford on March 23 last year. He was jailed for six years.
His co-accused in that offence, Ojay Miller, 19, from Highgate Street, Highgate, and 21-year-old Valtie Dixon, from Alfred Road, Handsworth, were both due to be sentenced for that offence today after being convicted of robbery.

Afternoon all..
Right, I've just had a phone call and I'm going to do a bit of research as well, but figured just in case the wheel has already been invented I'd check here too ..
The basic story is there is an autistic child who likes the sound the mouse makes when you click it, so as soon as they get their hands on the mouse they click it a lot, which has implications when using the computer obiously.
Now, the student in hand has full time TA Support, but this isn't enough to stop it, so just wondering if anyone knows of a solution in windows (or as additional software) that will only let the mouse respond to a certain number of clicks before there having to be a delay etc, or a hardware solution that does the same?
Any help would be gratefully recieved.
Andy :)

Methow Valley and Bluebird Farms
I spent the weekend in the sunny and warm, Methow Valley, specifically Winthrop and Twisp. Seattle decided to take the summer off, so it was nice to sweat and be hot. It reminded me of March in the South. I shot a portrait of the owners of Bluebird Farms, Brooke and Sam Lucy, and their two kids, Mariah and Larkin. They grow grains, and specialize in Emmer Farro. Their operation is impressive and are some of the nicest people I've ever photographed. Here is their picture.

Was "The Rosie Show" canceled because it was too gay?
I went into watching The Rosie Show with high hopes, but perhaps too many expectations. As someone who was a religious Oprah watcher, I perhaps imagined her Harpo studios would give Rosie the same magic it held for O. But with the news that Rosie O'Donnell's failed talk show has now been canceled by OWN, it's clear that the magic left with Ms. Winfrey.
The Daily Beast's Ramin Setoodeh (infamous for his Newsweek piece on how gay actors can't play straight convincingly) surmised the show didn't do well because of more than the studio. In fact, it didn't seem like he could find much right with it. Based mostly on hearsay, as neither Rosie or Oprah's teams will comment on the cancellation just yet, it seems issues with the show's set-up, location in Chicago and Harpo staff were all reasons it wasn't able to bring in viewers. But then there's this section:
Market research had indicated that even the show's gay-friendly audience was tiring of all the gay references and hearing O'Donnell talk about being a lesbian, but O'Donnell disregarded that critique. On a recent Friday night, she advertised on Twitter that she was doing a special where she talked about being gay in America. The show ended up being an interview with Randy Roberts Potts, the grandson of televangelist Oral Roberts, and it featured clips of Rosie talking to her staff about coming out. During another episode, she implied on TV that one of the younger staff members was gay, when he had never talked about his sexual orientation. The incident left him upset and embarrassed.
Rosie with tonight's guest, Lily Tomlin
I'm very curious as to where this market research is or was done. It wasn't cited or linked to in The Daily Beast piece, so it was probably (like most other things in the article) based on anonymous insider tips. But if that was the case, then I am not only disheartened, but I fear for America. As a viewer of all current talk shows who have out hosts (The Rosie Show, The Ellen Show, The Rachel Maddow Show and The Talk), I find them all to be on the same wavelength when it comes to mentioning of their relationships or sexuality, and generally when the discussion topic is related to it in some way. Perhaps Rosie's jokes about crushing on Tom Cruise have now been replaced with mentions of her fiancee, Michelle — is that so polarizing? I would hope not, especially on a network like OWN where the LGBT community is included and embraced on several other shows, as has been the case on Oprah's own show over its 25-year run.
Rosie with fiancee Michelle Rounds
For those of you who, like me, began to watch the show when it launched this past fall but lost enthusiasm for it when it appeared the host, herself, had, I'm sure you didn't become more of a passive viewer because of Rosie's sexuality, well-timed lesbian jokes or monologues about her personal life. In fact, I found those things quite refreshing and normalizing. She has a partner, a family and everyday tidbits, woes and experiences to share like any other talk show host would and should. The problem, in my opinion, were the guests and the lack of research Rosie appeared to have done on them before they came on to the show. In the beginning, with interviewees like Roseanne Barr and Russell Brand, it was clear that Rosie liked them and knew them, so there was a easy-to-watch rapport between them, like Ellen DeGeneres seems to have with just about anybody.
But when she was struggling to book guests, as The Daily Beast reports, because Chicago was no longer a "media stop town," there was no real excitement around the conversation we'd be tuning in for. It became more like her radio show and less something you'd want to spend an hour watching, especially every weeknight at 7 p.m. Unwatched episodes began to pile up on my DVR, and I found myself deleting them after days of uninteresting guests failed to grab my attention. Here or there I'd find out that Kathy Griffin or Sandra Bernhard would be coming on and my interest would be piqued, but it wasn't enough to keep me regularly looking forward to what Ro would be talking about today.
As someone who lived in Chicago for 10 years, I had a lot of faith that the move would work for Rosie and her family, and that not only the city but the country would rally around her return to TV. All I can say is that I tried, but that magic was just missing, as if Oprah took it all with her.
The Daily Beast says Rosie's next move, besides the literal move back to New York City, is going to be on Broadway. Rosie recently auditioned for the role of Miss Hannigan in a production of Annie. Here's hoping she has the right kind of chemistry with the rest of the people on the stage.

Konecranes 3rd 10% down y-on-y
Continued soft market and unfavourable currency development will tax fourth quarter 2013 result expectations. EBIT margin improving from the beginning of the year as cost cutting progresses on plan.
According to the preliminary figures, Konecranes' third quarter 2013 order intake was approximately EUR 413 million, down 10 percent year-on-year. Approximately one-half or almost 5 percentage points of the order intake decline was explained by negative currency changes. Sales were approximately EUR 503 million and operating profit excluding restructuring costs approximately EUR 32 million. The operating margin excluding restructuring costs was approximately 6.4 percent.
Both the cost base and the operating margin developed as expected in the third quarter of 2013. Group's efficiency improvement program to lower the annual cost base by EUR 30 million by the end of 2014 is proceeding as planned.
Konecranes expects the positive margin development to continue and fourth quarter 2013 operating profit to improve from the previous year. However, due to the weaker than expected order intake and unfavourable currency development in the third quarter, Konecranes no longer expects to meet the earlier financial guidance for 2013.
The new financial guidance is:
"Based on the order book and the near-term demand outlook, the year 2013 sales are expected to be slightly lower than in 2012. We expect the fourth quarter 2013 operating profit excluding restructuring costs to improve from the previous year. However, we expect the full-year 2013 operating profit excluding restructuring costs to be lower than in 2012."
The previous financial guidance was:
"Based on the order book and the near-term demand outlook, the year 2013 sales are expected to be stable or slightly higher than in 2012. We expect the 2013 operating profit excluding restructuring costs to be approximately on the same level as in 2012."
The preliminary third quarter 2013 figures incorporate restructuring costs of approximately EUR 24 million (EUR 5 million cash-based and EUR 19 million non cash-based) related to the cost reduction program announced July 24, 2013.

MySQL supports two different algorithms for views: the MERGE algorithm and the TEMPTABLE algorithm. These two algorithms differ greatly. A view which uses the MERGE algorithm can merge filter conditions into the view query itself. This has significant performance advantages over TEMPTABLE views. A view which uses the TEMPTABLE algorithm will have to compute the […]
A workaround for the performance problems of TEMPTABLE views
Star Schema Bechmark: InfoBright, InfiniDB and LucidDB
In my previous rounds with DataWarehouse oriented engines I used single table without joins, and with small (as for DW) datasize (see http://www.percona.com/blog/2009/10/02/analyzing-air-traffic-performance-with-infobright-and-monetdb/, http://www.percona.com/blog/2009/10/26/air-traffic-queries-in-luciddb/, http://www.percona.com/blog/2009/11/02/air-traffic-queries-in-infinidb-early-alpha/). Addressing these issues, I took Star Schema Benchmark, which is TPC-H modification, and tried run queries against InfoBright, InfiniDB, LucidDB and MonetDB. I did not get results for MonetDB, will […]
InnoDB: look after fragmentation
One problem made me puzzled for couple hours, but it was really interesting to figure out what's going on. So let me introduce problem at first. The table is
CREATE TABLE `c` (
`tracker_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
`username` char(20) character set latin1 collate latin1_bin NOT NULL,
`time_id` date NOT NULL,
`block_id` int(10) unsigned default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`tracker_id`,`username`,`time_id`),
KEY `block_id` (`block_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB
Table has 11864696 rows and takes Data_length: 698,351,616 bytes on disk The problem is that after restoring table from mysqldump, the query that scans data […]
JOIN Performance & Charsets
We have written before about the importance of using numeric types as keys, but maybe you've inherited a schema that you can't change or have chosen string types as keys for a specific reason. Either way, the character sets used on joined columns can have a significant impact on the performance of your queries. Take […]
