MySQL – No Index Used With ORDER BY + LIMIT and DISTINCT. This is actually a follow up on my previous post. Developers tried to rewrite all statements and even overdid it. As we say in Russia – "teach fool how to pray and he will break his forehead".
Doug Burns posted photos with his new teammates on his blog, and I felt they deserved a mention here too.
Robert Treat has published the 27th edition of Log Buffer, the weekly review of database blogs, on zillablog.
Filesorts and temp tables are a necessary evil in MySQL, used when MySQL must sort the data before returning the output to the user. They are the most common issue with slow queries in MySQL, the main reason being that if the output is too large, you can kiss goodbye in-memory performance, and say hello to disk access.

Oracle 10.2.0.3 Patchset – Known Issues and Bugs. Oracle 10.2.0.3 patchset is not functional on Solaris SPARC 64bit platform with datafiles on Veritas VxFS.
Today is the first time I had to look at MySQL performance. Tiny database as web application back-end was having significant performance issues with spikes of CPU workload. After identifying problematic queries, I found a pile of statements using IN subqueries. I asked around and our MySQL experts assured me that this is one of the minor and not so disturbing issues, in fact. I can't imagine what those disturbing issue are. I guess Oracle XE does have some advantages over MySQL for small installations.
Doug Burns is finally here in Ottawa. You must see his smile in the airport – somehow he managed to read my comment and already expected me while I thought it would be surprise.
Steve Karam, the Oracle Alchemist, has published the 26th edition of Log Buffer, the weekly review of database blogs.
To the subject at hand (psst, there will be some technical stuff in the end)… A few days ago I came across Twitter. I liked that idea very much and even tried it for one evening. I don't think Twitter fits my lifestyle, but I recognized a very familiar concept. Indeed, it reminds me of one feature of our Pythian Support Track. Time for a bit of technical stuff…since we are mostly talking about databases on this blog, here is a view in Oracle I found very useful one day: SYSTEM_PRIVILEGE_MAP.

Gamer Dominique Villanueva in still from the The Doubleclick's music video "Nothing to Prove."
There is a strange and pervasive cultural myth that geek girls are like unicorns—we're rare and mythical creatures who can't possibly be real. This anxiety over gender is deeply tied to nerds' concerns about the mainstreaming of geekdom.
Wonder Woman first hit the comics page over 70 years ago—but her story and personal history has changed dramatically with each new generation of artists, writers, and fans.
This show explores Wonder Woman's origins and impact over seven decades. The LA-based Homemade News crew talks about the strange story of her creator William Marston, then we analyze her Amazonian origin story with an excerpt of an article by Stevie St. John. Then, author and scholar Jennifer K. Stuller heads to San Diego ComiCon to talk with comics fans and publishers about what Wonder Woman means to them. Finally, we look to the future of Wonder Woman, as DC comics team Cat Staggs and Amanda Deibert talk about the new Wonder Woman comic book they're creating right now.
More ways to listen and individual show segments are below the cut.
"When I started out, gaming was a geek thing," says Sean (not his real name), a 38-year-old senior director of product development for a major electronic game publisher. "Now, it's totally mainstream. It's clear there's money to be made."
It's not like there's any nostalgia in his voice. With a six-figure salary and a generous bonus, Sean is one of those making the money. Electronic games—which encompass both computer games and console-based games—generated nearly $10 billion in revenue last year, thanks in part to top-selling titles like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Madden NFL 2005, ESPN NFL 2K5, and NBA Live 2005.
Given the fact that electronic games have their roots in geekdom, the sheer jock/thug appeal of the above-listed games is striking. You'd think that geek boys, having been a) persecuted by jocks and bullies and b) heavily involved in the production of electronic games, might take advantage of the latter to redress the former. But somewhere between Pong and Madden, those geeks began spending their days and nights creating universes in which testosterone rules, in the process reinforcing the gender roles that made their young lives hell.

Some interesting and revealing incidents from the life of Albert Einstein, who was recently honored by Time magazine as the Man of the Century.
One day during a speaking tour, Albert Einstein's driver, who often sat at the back of the hall during his lectures, remarked that he could probably give the lecture himself, having heard it so many times. Sure enough, at the next stop on the tour, Einstein and the driver switched places, with Einstein sitting at the back in his driver's uniform. Having delivered a flawless lecture, the driver was asked a difficult question by a member of the audience. "Well, the answer to that question is quite simple," he casually replied. "I bet my driver, sitting up at the back there, could answer it!" ============ ========= ========= ========= ========= Albert Einstein's wife often suggested that he dress more professionally when he headed off to work. "Why should I?" he would invariably argue. "Everyone knows me there." When the time came for Einstein to attend his first major conference, she begged him to dress up a bit. "Why should I?" said Einstein. "No one knows me there!" ============ ========= ========= ========= ========= Albert Einstein was often asked to explain the general theory of relativity. "Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour," he once declared. "Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity!" ============ ========= ========= ========= ========= When Albert Einstein was working in Princeton university, one day he was going back home he forgot his home address. The driver of the cab did not recognise him. Einstein asked the driver if he knows Einstein's home. The driver said "Who does not know Einstein's address? Everyone in Princeton knows.Do you want to meet him?. Einstein replied "I am Einstein. I forgot my home address, can you take me there? "The driver reached him to his home and did not even collect his fare from him. ============ ========= ========= ========= ========= Einstein was once traveling from Princeton on a train when the conductor came down the aisle, punching the tickets of every passenger. When he came to Einstein, Einstein reached in his vest pocket. He couldn't find his ticket, so he reached in his trouser pockets. It wasn't there, so he looked in his briefcase but couldn't find it. Then he looked in the seat beside him. He still couldn't find it. The conductor said, 'Dr. Einstein, I know who you are. We all know who you are. I'm sure you bought a ticket. Don't worry about it.' Einstein nodded appreciatively. The conductor continued down the aisle punching tickets. As he was ready to move to the next car, he turned around and saw the great physicist down on his hands and knees looking under his seat for his ticket. The conductor rushed back and said, 'Dr. Einstein, Dr. Einstein, don't worry, I know who you are. No problem. You don't need a ticket. I'm sure you bought one.' Einstein looked at him and said, 'Young man, I too, know who I am. What I don't know is where I'm going.' ============ ========= ========= ========= =========
Nice and good for knowledge related to MAN OF CENTURY.I learnt that when any inventor forgets every thing then he can became a scientist.
Genius and interesting rolled into one ! Thanks sharad for such a lovely insight. Gave me a lot of respite at the end of a tiring day !
These incidents are not dramatized. These are recorded by the people who witnessed them. A real genius and may be soon we will be discovering that his Space- Time continuum is only a mirage and he did say that he was puzzled by quantum mechanics because the rules of the game are different. He also said if given a chance to live his life again, he would like to be a mechanic. Simplicity and his humanness is beyond belief. God is not playing dies! is already being questioned by developments in particle physics.
Thanks for sharing @Sharad! TO know even bits and pieces about the life of such geniuses is very encouraging!
BUT the question arises, if Einstein used forget everything, how he could remember his theory of relativity? I think the truth may be 50:50 about the stories of his forgetfulness.
Sharad, a great peice for today.....thanks for sharing...also thanks for Rajeev for addition
Thanks Sharad for sharing this. Let me add one more anecdote about Einstein's forgetfulness. Einstein had a bed in his laboratory as he had odd timings to sleep and did not want to waste a single minute in going to his bed room. Every night he followed the same routine: he would take off his hat and hang it on an anvil, put his stick in the corner and then lie down on the bed. Every morning his domestic help would come to clean up the place. One morning the domestic help saw a strange scenario: the hat was on the anvil, Einstein was standing in the corner, and the stick was lying on the bed!
Good one! Keep posting such articles - will become an eyeopener for youngsters!

Here is a fine example of how stupid some elected officials are. This man did everything for this county and this dumb old no-good foolish witch from East Arcadia doesn't know who he was. Maybe she really didn't know what she was doing when she tried to vote twice a few years back and nothing was done. »

Write a ReviewReview of CH2C366042 - Casual Home Turned Leg Table
By Diane Mueller from Middle Island, NY on Oct 08, 2011
At first, I was a bit skeptical buying furniture without first seeing it in person. The only reason I rated this product as very good instead of excellent is that there is a knot in one of the chair back slats where it meets the seat. Otherwise, we are very pleased with the product; it was everything that your website described it as. We found the delivery company to be very professional, from the customer representatives to the deliverymen. This was a very pleasant way to shop for and buy the dining set that was perfect for our kitchen. I would definitely recommend ATG and GS furniture.

Review of CH2C33042 Casual Home Turned Leg Table
By Sandra M. from Chicago, IL on Nov 27, 2012
Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
I have been looking for a smaller table with the butterfly leaf for quite some time and love the look and versatility of this table. The delivery company from customer service to the men who delivered the item were very capable and friendly. I was disappointed that I had to contact customer service several times to get the order to the manufacturer, so it took longer to get delivery. However, I am totally pleased with the quality of the table.
