Editor's Notes

1. Good afternoon, thx for joining us today! I’m Rich Mason, general manager of the MySQL Business Unit at Oracle Joining me today are, Tomas Uliin, MySQL VP of Engineering and Nipun, Agarwal, VP Oracle Labs We also have the pleasure of 2 MySQL customers joining us: XXX, Mercari, Japan’s largest community powered marketplace, with over 10B in monthly transactions.

2. MySQL is ubiquitous. This is the DB-Engines Database Ranking. DB Engines ranks databases (300+) according to their popularity, using a variety of sources. MySQL is the 2nd most popular db in world, more popular than MSFT SQL Server, and the most popular OSS db. Last 5yrs MySQL has consist. been in the top 3. The reason MySQL is so popular is that it performs, its scales, its easy to use, and as our customers like to say, “it just works”. ---------------- FYI: For your reference: Method of calculating the scores of the DB-Engines Ranking The DB-Engines Ranking is a list of database management systems ranked by their current popularity. We measure the popularity of a system by using the following parameters: Number of mentions of the system on websites, measured as number of results in search engines queries. At the moment, we use Google and Bing for this measurement. In order to count only relevant results, we are searching for <system name> together with the term database, e.g. "Oracle" and "database". General interest in the system. For this measurement, we use the frequency of searches in Google Trends. Frequency of technical discussions about the system. We use the number of related questions and the number of interested users on the well-known IT-related Q&A sites Stack Overflow and DBA Stack Exchange. Number of job offers, in which the system is mentioned. We use the number of offers on the leading job search engines Indeed and Simply Hired. Number of profiles in professional networks, in which the system is mentioned. We use the internationally most popular professional network LinkedIn. Relevance in social networks. We count the number of Twitter tweets, in which the system is mentioned.
3. Other surveys show similar results. Stack Overflow’s annual survey is the largest and most comprehensive survey of developers around the world. The 2019 survey, which surveyed over 90,000 developers, showed MySQL was the most popular database. In fact, for the last 3 years, since 2017 when StackOverflow started surveying about database usage, MySQL has always been the #1 most used database. ------------ Source: https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2019#overview
4. JetBrains is a development tools company that also conducted a survey and found that MySQL is the most regularly used database in the developer ecosystem. In addition, MySQL Workbench was the most popular developers used to work with databases. --------------- Source: https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2019/
5. The Oracle MySQL Cloud Service enables you to rapidly, securely and cost-effectively deploy modern applications powered by MySQL.

6. Result of a collaboration with Oracle Labs who have invested several hundred person years of work in this technology With this service, MySQL users will now be able to run analytics on the same data which was stored in MySQL for OLTP. No export and reload of data is required. The system has been designed from the ground up to support in-memory SQL analytic processing It has been architected for massive scalability (hundreds of nodes) and we are optimizing it for the OCI platform. Expect customer applications to achieve very compelling performance per dollar ratio for their analytic workloads Welcome customers who may want to collaborate for a Proof of Concept program
