451 Research's 2013 Database survey is now live at http://bit.ly/451db13 investigating the current use of database technologies, including MySQL, NoSQL and NewSQL, as well as traditional relation and non-relational databases.
The aim of this survey is to identify trends in database usage, as well as changing attitudes to MySQL following its acquisition by Oracle, and the competitive dynamic between MySQL and other databases, including NoSQL and NewSQL technologies.
There are just 15 questions to answer, spread over five pages, and the entire survey should take less than ten minutes to complete.
All individual responses are of course[Read more...]

For those that weren't able to attend the fantastic NoSQL Now Conference in San Jose last week, but are still interested in the slides about how people are doing Ad Hoc analytics on top of NoSQL data systems, here's my slides from my presentation:No sql now2011_review_of_adhoc_architectures View more presentations from ngoodman We obviously continue to hear from our community that LucidDB is a great solution sitting in front of a Big Data/NoSQL [Read more...]
Following up on my previous blog about enabling SQL Access to CouchDB Views I thought I'd share what I think the single, biggest advantage is: The ability to connect, run of the mill, commodity BI tools to your big data system.
While the video below doesn't show a PRPT it does show Pentaho doing Ad Hoc, drag and drop reporting on top of CouchDB with LucidDB in the middle, providing the connectivity and FULL SQL access to CouchDB. Once again, the overview:

There's a ton of swirling about Hadoop, Big Data, and NoSQL. In short, these systems have relaxed the relational model into schema(less/minimal) to do a few things:
A new healthcare project in Zambia is trying to integrate supervisors, clinics, and community healthcare workers (CHW) into a system that can improve patient service and provide more data about the effectiveness of care. Because of the technical challenges in an extreme rural setting, unique solutions are required. According to Cory Zue, chief technology officer of Dimagi, CouchDB went a long way toward keeping a consistent set of records under extreme circumstances. The full story will be laid out in Zue's talk at the upcoming MySQL conference, but here's a sneak peak.

I'll be presenting several sessions at the O'Reilly MySQL Conference & Expo 2011, which is April 11-14 in Santa Clara, California. I recommend this conference to anyone interested in open-source databases including MySQL, PostgreSQL, CouchDB, MongoDB, and others. There is very good coverage of a diverse list of open-source databases.
My sessions are as follows:
O'Reilly's 2011 edition of the MySQL conference has an expanded agenda, with good representation from Postgres, CouchDB, MongoDB, and others. Take a look at the full schedule listing, which is being filled out as talks are approved and the speakers verify that they'll give the session.
I am certainly looking forward to this year's event. A tremendous amount of progress has landed in GA versions of open-source databases this year. To name just a couple, there's a new version of Postgres (9.0) with built-in replication and many more improvements; there's MySQL 5.5 GA; there's the HandlerSocket NoSQL interface to MySQL; Drizzle has a beta release; and the list goes on. I believe that this conference[Read more...]

I've started a little series on how to migrate your MySQL applications and databases over to CouchDB. Most of the process is about how you think about your data, not about the database itself, the application, or the interface to the database storage. There are some use cases for data storage that lend themselves to the CouchDB document model that provides some advantages over the table-based structure in MySQL. The first part of the series is Moving from MySQL to CouchDB: Part 1.

It seems obvious that given the decreasing cost of storage and computation, there's going to be a significant increase in the volume of data that organizations accumulate over the next 10 years. But the type of data being accumulated may be different from the areas where traditional DBMSs dominated. It's not just about transactions; it's search patterns, on-line behavior, click-thru data, events fired off by smartphones, messages over Twitter & Facebook, log data of various kinds.
If an organization can figure out a better way identify prospects, or deliver more targeted ads, or optimize pricing decisions by analyzing terrabytes of data, they'd be crazy not to. Over the long term, companies[Read more...]

I'm the boards of two companies (Pentaho, Revolution Analytics) that are starting to see a lot of customer traction around Big Data. More and more companies in media, pharma, retail and finance are doing advanced analysis, reporting, graphing, etc with massive data sets. It made me wonder what other areas of the technology stack might evolve with the trend towards Big Data. Obviously, there's new middleware layers like Hadoop and Map Reduce, and we're also seeing the emergence of[Read more...]
CouchDB is a document-oriented database written in Erlang that addresses a particular "sweet spot" in data storage and retrieval needs. This blog post is an introduction to CouchDB for those of us who have a relational database background.
A CouchDB database doesn't have tables. It has a collection of documents, stored in a B+Tree. A document is a collection of attributes and values. Values can be atomic, or complex nested structures such as arrays and sub-documents. When you add a document to a database, CouchDB stores it in the B+Tree, indexed by two attributes with special meaning: _id and _rev.
CouchDB lets you store related data together even if it isn't all the same type of data; you can store documents representing blog posts, users, and comments — all in the same database. This is not as[Read more...]

The No-SQL tag really lumps together a lot of concepts that are in fact as distinct from eachother as they are from SQL/RDBMS.
An object store is not at all similar to Cassandra and Hypertable, which is not at all like an column store. And when looking at BigTable derivatives, it's quite important to realise that Google actually does joins in middle layers or apps, so while BigTable does not have joins, the apps essentially do use them – I've heard it professed that denormalising everything might be a fab idea, but I don't quite believe in that for all cases, just like I don't believe in ditching the structured form of RDBMS being the solution.
SQL/RDBMS has had a few decades of dominance now, and has thus become the great "general purpose" tool. With the ascent of all the other tools, it's definitely worthwhile to look at them, but also realise that[Read more...]
OpenSQLCamp was a huge success! I took videos of most of the sessions (we only had 3 video cameras, and 4 rooms, and 2 sessions were not recorded). Unfortunately, I was busy doing administrative stuff for opensqlcamp for the opening keynote and first 15 minutes of the session organizing, and when I got to the planning board, it was already full….so I was not able to give a session.
The NoSQL event in New York had a number of presentations on non relational technologies including of Hadoop, MongoDB and CouchDB.
Coming historically from a relational background of 20 years with Ingres, Oracle and MySQL (http://mysql.com) I have been moving my focus towards non relational data store. The most obvious and well used today is memcached, a non persistent distributed key/value pair store. There are a number of persistent key/value stores in the marketplace, Tokyo Cabinet, Project Voldemort and Redis to name a[Read more...]

Religious Freedom Ambassador Settles into Role, Diplomacy
The former New York Baptist minister promotes international religious freedom.
Nearly a year into her stint as the State Department's point person on religious freedom, the Rev. Suzan Johnson Cook has traveled to eight countries and seems to have moved beyond questions about her lack of diplomatic experience.
"I had to certainly learn the culture of the State Department," said Johnson Cook, the Obama administration's ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom, in a recent interview, "but I was not foreign to the issues."
She was in Abuja, Nigeria, not long after bombs killed dozens attending Christmas Day Mass. And she's been to Assisi, Italy, where she participated in an interfaith gathering organized by Pope Benedict XVI. But she still has many countries on her to-do list, including some of the State Department's hot spots.
Her initial plans for a February visit to China, which is designated as a "country of particular concern" for its religious freedom record, were halted when China denied her visa.
"We look forward to traveling and looking at a mutually agreeable time when it works for China and it works for us," she said, not addressing criticism that the incident made her office look weak.

Little wizard Harry Potter hasNews
Little wizard Harry Potter has spellbound millions of children and adults alike as well as catapulting a local boy into the spotlight. Xu Gang, 14, has five years experience doing voice overs for nearly 100 plays and films, but it is the character of Harry Potter that made him famous overnight.
Two bits of information from This is London, courtesy of TWW:
[At LEGOLAND Windsor] Get creative using thousands of LEGO bricks to help build a giant mural of the popular characters from the exciting world of Harry Potter. Under guidance of the Park's team of expert model makers, children will be able to create a scene featuring Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley and the infamous Professor Snape.
[At the National Portrait Gallery] A celebration of a century of children's literature. Paintings, drawings and photographs of the British children's authors who have made the most impact on the twentieth century including Kenneth Grahame, CS Lewis, Enid Blyton, Roald Dahl, Raymond Briggs and J.K. Rowling. Held in the Porter Gallery. Admission Free. End date has yet to be confirmed.
Also thanks to TWW for this from the Daily Telegraph:
In a departure from the star-studded first movie instalment of Harry Potter, the next episode - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - is to make a household name of at least one hitherto unknown adult actor.
Although the film's producer, Warner Brothers, is keen to keep his identity under wraps, Peterborough can reveal that the villainous Tom Riddle will be played by 20-something Cambridge graduate Christian Coulson.
"Yes, I can confirm that Christian has been given the part," says his agent. "He's massively excited about the role, but he's really not allowed to say anything more about the film at this stage."

Be a Contestant on 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire'
If you've ever wanted to sit in the hot seat and try your hand at Millionaire, here's how to get the application process going.
Meet the Host, Meredith Vieira
The host of the daily syndicated version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is Meredith Vieira. She brings both professionalism and warmth to the hosting chair, making her one of the most popular female game show hosts of all time.
Get Free Audience Tickets
Want to see how a taping of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire works? You can get free audience tickets for the show, which tapes in New York City.
The 'Millionaire' Lifelines
Contestants playing Who Wants to Be a Millionaire are able to take advantage of the various lifelines on offer. The most popular lifeline, Phone-A-Friend, was discontinued in 2010. Here are the main lifelines and how they work.
10th Anniversary Prime Time Special
For two weeks in the summer of 2009, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire returned to prime time, with Regis Philbin at the helm, to celebrate ten years of great gaming. Celebrities were invited to answer a single question at the end of each episode to raise money for charity.
The Tournament of Ten
Following the success of the 10th Anniversary special, Millionaire tried another event. This one was called the Tournament of Ten, and invited the ten top-seeded contestants from the current season to return and face their million dollar questions.
'Millionaire' Guest Hosts and Celebrity Guests
Every once in a while, Meredith Vieira needs a vacation. These weeks can be fun for Millionaire fans as guest hosts take over the show and give us something a little different. Other weeks have special themes and celebrities popping by, with varying results for the contestants.

The police postponed the march, due last Monday, claiming they had evidence extremist residents of Umm al Fahm in northern
"There was a real danger that lives could be lost," said a police spokesman, adding that the decision to ban the march would be reassessed in two weeks.
But local Arab leaders and Jewish peace activists claimed the police concocted the story to justify the cancellation of the march. Thousands of Jews had planned to form a human chain with the residents of Umm al Fahm at the entrance to the town to block the way of the Jewish National Front.
Adam Keller, of the peace group Gush Shalom, said the planned show of solidarity would have been non-violent. He denounced the police for exploiting the stereotype of violent Arab citizens promoted by the marchers, many of whom are hardline settlers in the
"It is a supreme irony that we had organised for thousands of Arabs and Jews to prove we can live here as citizens in harmony," he said. "Then the police cancel the march but use the false pretext that the marchers are in danger rather than that they seek to inflame violence."
Claims by the police that Arab residents would shoot at the marchers were derided by Jewish and Arab organisations.
Jafar Farah, of the Mossawa parliamentary lobbying group, pointed out that the northern police force had used a similar excuse – that Arab demonstrators were armed – in Oct 2000, at the start of the intifada, to justify its use of live ammunition against protests in Arab communities.
A later state inquiry examining the deaths of 13 Arab demonstrators at the hands of the police found that they were unarmed. The inquiry concluded that the institutional view of the police was that
"The lessons from that inquiry have still not been learnt," Mr Farah said. "There is still a culture of hatred in the police force as well as a culture of incitement. In their different way, the police want to de-legitimise the country's Arab minority just as much as the marchers."
The Jewish National Front is widely seen as a reinvention of the Kach movement, a Jewish terror organisation demanding the expulsion of Palestinians from both
Kach tried to stage a march to Umm al Fahm in 1984 but was repulsed when Jews and Arabs turned out on a large scale.
The police opposed the new march from the outset, saying it believed that confrontations between the marchers and local residents might provoke riots across the north, especially in the wake of violence between Jews and Arabs in
The Supreme Court overruled the police, agreeing with the Front that their right to free expression was being curtailed.
Mr Keller said he believed the police had opposed the march because of the exorbitant cost of bringing thousands of police officers to the town.
"They needed an excuse to prevent the march but one that would be acceptable to the Jewish public and which would not look like they were ignoring the court's ruling. They resorted to the easiest – and most dangerous – pretext available: that Umm al Fahm is a hotbed of terror."
Itamar Ben Gvir, a Front leader and settler involved in the recent clashes with the Israeli army over the evacuation of a settler-occupied Palestinian house in
Shuli Dichter, the head of the Sikkuy coexistence group and a resident of a kibbutz near Umm al Fahm, called that suggestion "nonsense".
"At the weekend we organised tours for hundreds of Jews to Umm al Fahm. They shopped and visited attractions without any trouble whatsoever. We proved that Jews are welcome in Umm al Fahm and that the violence comes only from the far-right."
Raja Aghbariyya, the head of Islamic Youth Movement in Umm al Fahm, expressed a view widely shared in the town: "We welcome anyone who comes to visit the city, but not according to the relationship of slave and master."
Mr Dichter said the police decision had disappointed him. "I would have preferred to see this march stopped by the opposition of an aware public rather than by the police."
He said the large turnout of Jewish groups had been possible because of a framework of co-operation between Jews and Arabs created in the wake of the 13 deaths in Oct 2000.
That included a forum jointly headed by the Arab mayor of Umm al Fahm, Sheikh Hashem Abd al Rahman, and the Jewish mayor of the Menashe Regional Council, Ilan Sadeh. Mr Sadeh, who had assisted in plans to oppose the Front, described the march as an attempt "to sow chaos in the area".

Coldean teenager describes her three-year battle against cancer
Updated 11:22am Tuesday 4th February 2014 in News By Finn Scott-Delany, Business editor
A teenager has spoken courageously about her three-year battle with cancer and her experience of the "horrible side of life".
Jessica-Jayde Allen was just 15 when she learned she had the rare malignant tumour Ewing's Sarcoma. After being given the all-clear 18 months ago, the 18 year old was heartbroken to learn the cancer had returned.
She said having cancer had become "normal" and had taught her "life is tough".
- Beach protesters sock it to system
- Inferno which severely damaged flat started accidentally
- 15-year-old missing from Seaford
- Calls for pub to be closed after series of offences
- Teenagers with green credentials
Jessica-Jayde, of Coldean, said: "I was 15 and living life as a normal teenage girl, going to school and preparing for my GCSEs.
"But from the moment that I was diagnosed, everything changed."
After a lump developed on her collarbone doctors sent her for an X-ray.
She said: "My heart started beating so fast, my hands were shaking and I came over dizzy. It was like an actual nightmare that I was just about to wake up from. Evidently not."
At the Royal Marsden cancer hospital her fears were confirmed: "I sat there, shocked and confused.
"I was in fear of what the future would hold and it took two words to feel like the world was against me. Two words that changed my life: 'It's cancer'."
She has since completed 15 rounds of chemotherapy and had daily radiotherapy for weeks, leaving her sick, weak and prone to infections and broken bones.
She also had to deal with losing her hair: "I did everything I could to keep my hair but in the end, I understood that things had to get worse before they could get better and I just had to be strong."
In July 2012 she learnt her cancer was no longer active. But in October 2013 another lump appeared and her "whole life came crashing down, for a second time".
This time doctors will operate and snap her collar bone to get to the tumour. She added: "I was heartbroken and couldn't believe that I was going to have to go through it again.
"I've now become used to this horrible side of life. To me, it's normal to go up to the hospital and see hairless children. It's normal to me that I have cancer."
A fundraising event to help Jessica-Jayde pay her travel costs for further treatment is being held at Whitehawk Football Club from 7.30pm on February 22.

KEEP FIGHTING JESSICA-JADE! I won't say "oh, you poor thing", as I'm sure you get that all the time. What I WILL say though, is "GOOD LUCK, SWEETIE!!" and "it's a crying shame that it's back, but I'm sure you're fighting as hard as you can and I hope you win!"

Friday Fun Day- 19/08/2014
On Friday 15th Cathays Community Centre held a successful fun day to celebrate the work of its Teenscheme members.
Amongst the events was a Puppet Show focusing on the subject of relationships, organised and produced by Teenscheme members, providing laughs for both parents and young people. The winner of the Bingo took home a selection of chocolates while there were several fun games taking place in the main hall.
A video of the 4 week Teenscheme experience was shown to parents.
A stall of donated items sold out, raising money for Oxfam, while the food stall also went down well with a variety of healthy fruit drinks also available.
Everyone at Cathays Community Centre would like to thank all the staff and volunteers for participating in this year's Teenscheme, and of course a big thank you to all the members that came along this year, we hope you all enjoyed yourselves!
Timetable of events until 17th of August- 13/08/2014
Here's a timetable of all the events taking place at the centre this week. The next timetable will be up on Monday.

On the 26th of July an event took place at the community centre involving 4 acoustic acts in the cafe, free food, and a movie night upstairs which included two documentaries; We jam Econo and The Story of the Minutemen.
The event was an overall success. Bryony, Menna, Jack Harding and Jake Pezzack all performed wonderful sets and the movie night didn't fail to entertain.
A big thank you to everyone who came down and showed support, to the volunteers who ran the event, and to all the acts!
Teenscheme 2014!- 24/07/2014
A big welcome to all the members, volunteers, and staff involved in Teenscheme this year!

Adam Hudson, 26, was found guilty of second-degree assault in an attack on Justin Pate on Feb. 13, 2011.
Assistant District Attorney Chris Sherer, who prosecuted the case, said the jury took less than two hours to find Hudson, who was 23 at the time of the incident, guilty of the assault. The trial began Monday.
The incident began with an altercation between Hudson and Pate at Arby's in Jasper, Walker County District Attorney Bill Adair said.
Pate left the scene, but Hudson followed him to a residence, dragged Pate out of his vehicle and physically assaulted him.
"We had a group of young people one night end up at Arby's, and the defendant and a buddy came in and started a verbal altercation (with Pate) inside Arby's," Adair said.
A Jasper police officer who was off-duty at the time warned Hudson and his friend to leave the scene.
"Pate and his friends left to go home, but when they get home, Hudson had followed them," Adair said. "(Hudson) came up beside them and jerked the victim out of his car and literally beat him to a pulp."
The assault left Pate, who was 21 at the time, with facial fractures that later required surgery.
It was apparently sparked by Hudson's dislike of a mutual acquaintance with Pate and comments that were made, Sherer said.
"This was almost like a high school-type deal, even though they were 20-something years old," Adair said.
The charges against Hudson are a Class C felony, meaning he could face from a year to 10 years in prison when he's sentenced.
A sentencing hearing has yet to be scheduled by Judge Jerry Selman, who tried the case this week. Adair said the hearing is expected within the next 30 days.
"Despite the fact that it took less than two hours, we feel very good that the jury considered the evidence and thought about it and said this kind of violence, especially with young people, doesn't need to stand," Adair said. "This kind of thing has to be addressed with our young people."
A second defendant in the the case, 27-year-old Cory Aaron of Jasper, is expected to be tried later this year.

AUGUSTA — To protest not being able to have a television display outside his office, Gov. Paul LePage says he will move out of the State House.
Democrats said LePage was angry because he was not allowed to have a television screen outside his office displaying the number of days since he submitted a budget to the Legislature and the number of days since he offered a plan to pay off an approximate $484 million debt to hospitals.
Those at a meeting between LePage and legislative leaders confirmed the governor said he would be moving his office, but their accounts of the exchange varied.
Senate Minority Leader Michael Thibodeau, R-Winterport, said Democrats were making "much ado about nothing. The governor expressed to them that he was disappointed that, again, he feels like they are trying to censor him."
The Appropriations Committee Senate Chairwoman Dawn Hill, D-York, on Sunday did not allow LePage to testify during a committee work session on the Maine Department of Health and Human Services budget.
Adrienne Bennett, the governor's press secretary, said LePage had been working from the official governor's residence, the Blaine House, for the past two days. The Blaine House is across the street from the State House.
Democrats say LePage has been invited to make a request for his screen display to the Legislative Council, which decides what is appropriate for display in the State House Hall of Flags outside the Governor's Office.
"In government and in life, there are rules that need to be followed. It is disappointing and frustrating that the governor thinks he's exempt," Senate President Justin Alfond, D-Portland, said in a prepared statement. "The governor's ongoing pattern of behavior is embarrassing and not helpful to getting things done for the people of Maine."
House Speaker Mark Eves, D-North Berwick, said, "This action by the governor is unprecedented, but nonetheless consistent with his pattern of behavior. Storming out when you don't get what you want is not leadership. He continues to be an unwilling partner at every turn and that is unfortunate for the people of Maine."
The Legislative Council, which includes four Republicans and six Democrats, met Thursday afternoon, but LePage declined an invitation to appear before the council to request permission for his television display.
During the meeting, Alfond asked the council's executive director to come up with a "utilization plan" for the Governor's Office space should the governor actually vacate the office by July 1.
LePage's office issued a statement saying the 46-inch television he wanted to display was positioned to not interfere with foot traffic, nor did it create a safety concern.
"The repeated attempts by Democrats to stifle debate on bills and to prevent me from speaking in front of the Appropriations Committee is a disturbing pattern of censorship that should concern all Mainers," LePage said in a prepared statement.
"Now they are saying that the governor of Maine cannot have a TV in the waiting area," he said. "Maine Democrats are taking their cue from the Obama administration in Washington, D.C., which has violated the free-speech rights of American citizens and used the power of the government to silence those who disagree with them. If I have to remove myself from the toxic climate of censorship by Democrats in the State House to defend the taxpayers of Maine, then that's what I will do."
LePage said he would continue to meet with Mainers around the state and that his staff would continue to work from the offices at the State House "until such time as the partisan leaders of the Legislature choose to evict them."
After a news conference Thursday, LePage reiterated his intent to move his office. He then jokingly asked a reporter, "Do you know a good real estate guy?"
The Maine Democratic Party offered to split the cost of a moving van with LePage. Ben Grant, the party's chairman, said they would donate staff time over the weekend to help LePage pack.

Major expansion of Bicester Village approved
6:03pm Thursday 3rd January 2013 in News By Joe Nimmo, Senior reporter. Call me on (01865) 425373
MAJOR expansion plans by outlet shopping centre Bicester Village and Tesco have been approved.
This evening at a meeting of Cherwell District Council two separate but co-ordinated planning applications received unanimous approval.
The decision paves the way for the supermarket opening a new expanded store opposite its current position off the A41, and Bicester Village opening 30 new shops in its place.
It could also lead to £11m in road improvements on the A41, Oxford Road and Pingle Drive in a move that would cut chronic congestion at peak times.
The multi-million pound plans are also estimated to create up to 3,500 new jobs.
Chris Harris, of Bicester Village, said its expansion plan will open up quality jobs and significant road changes to tackle congestion.

A silly, alliterative book about all different breeds of dogs! Written and illustrated by Karen Morrow's First Graders during a week-long Artist In Residence program with children's book author & illustrator, Dar Hosta.
First graders in this program met with Dar four times to exactly mimic her process of book creation. Through a series of workshops, each child participated in an informative assembly presentation, the painting of collage papers, a writer's workshop of either alliterative sentences or rhyming couplets, and a collage workshop to illustrate their writing. Through collaboration, each class made a BOOK!
Complete information on Dar's Artist in Residence Programs can be found at www.darhosta.com.
