Speak About MySQL At SCaLE 23x

I help facilitate the MySQL track at SCaLE. I am seeking first-time presenters who can discuss MySQL.  I am also looking for old-timers who haven't spoken in a while at a conference and those who have forgotten to submit a talk. 

The MySQL Community is at a crossroads, and the MySQL track will cap off a day with a panel on the past, present, and future of MySQL. 

The 23rd Annual Southern California Linux Expo – SCaLE 23X – will be held March 5-8, 2026 at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, California, near Los Angeles.


You are invited to share your work on FOSS programs and open hardware projects with the rest of the community, as well as exchange ideas with some leading experts in these fields.

Please share your MySQL skills and experiences! You can make a significant impact by sharing with others, and this is an excellent opportunity to professionally network at the largest open-source show on the West Coast. 

 Details about previous presentations and activities at SCaLE can be found at: http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/22x

Migrating From MySQL To PostgreSQL in Five Simple Steps

Image
There are many reasons you may want to migrate from MySQL to PostgreSQL, which we will skip over for brevity.  I see many questions about moving tables and data, and sadly, the answers range from sloppy to incredibly complicated.  Each database migration is unique, as issues range from heavily relying on a vendor's feature to extremely complex schemas that require attention to minute detail. Step 1 This may seem obvious, but the first step is access to the original 'source' database. You will need FULL admin access to the database.  If you do not have full access for security, administrative, or other reasons, you will most likely not receive all the desired data.  We will use DBeaver Enterprise to connect to the source database. We need to choose a MySQL database driver Configure the connection We will be porting the World database. In this example, we will port the MySQL World database. This dataset has been used for decades in MySQL documentation, training, and ex...

Does Artificial Intelligence Query MySQL Better Than You?

Image
 The signal-to-noise ratio in the hype for Artificial Intelligence is incredibly high. There are many claims that AI will replace software developers. Many years ago, developers were told to find other jobs as a new programming language was designed to be written by nonprogrammers, replacing expensive coders. The Common Business Orientated Language, or COBOL, was a big hit and is still very popular in some sectors. But it did not replace programmers. But can an AI write Structured Query Language (SQL) as well for use with MySQL, or better than you?  I decided to use the MySQL World and Sakila databases because they have been around for decades. Nearly everyone who has had tangential exposure to MySQL has used them, and their tables are easy to understand. These tried and true schemas have been used for documentation, blogs, webinars, and demos for years, so I had little doubt that some of that had been scraped and fed into the AI. I randomly picked Grok as the AI and will try ...

Database Administration Query Repository

 I have started a repository of handy SQL Queries for Database Administration, which I have collected over the years. Finding unused or duplicate indexes or queries without indexes and other information can speed up response times. Knowing statistics like cache hit rates can aid in planning upgrades.  I am currently populating this repo as I run across the queries as part of my 'spring cleaning. ' I welcome your participation if you have a handy bit of SQL for an open-source database you'd like to share. The repo is at https://github.com/davestokes/HandySQL , and I will be adding to it over the next few months. If you have a question that you would like to see addressed, please don't hesitate to let me know. I will try to accommodate you.
