Welcome to MySQL How To

Welcome to the newly revamped MySQL How 2 site. This will express ideas and techniques I use everyday as a MySQL database administrator. There will be tips to maintenance, performance tuning and over all database administration. I will have a do's and dont's section from experiences, and I will post scripts that can be used. The environment that will be referenced is one of the largest. The ideas expressed on this site will be examples of administrations tasks that I use. I will also answer questions , so feel free to send them to me on the Contact form.

I will have rants of bugs I find and mistakes I make, there will be a section that will talk about my day to day life at the office and home. This could be for good reading, as it is hectic. I will try to give you enjoyable reading and not lose the attention and bore you. Please leave comments, as it will help me write know what the readers are looking for. I would like this be a go to place that other MySQL DBA's can use.

Creating this site is a side project also for me, as I will use it for issues I have seen and I'm sure I will see some again. Some of the reading will be just notes, check back often as I will update them with out comes and more information. Enjoy reading and thank you.

About me and my family

OK, now let me tell you about my great family. First is my beautiful wife Heather, she has supported me and she is the driver of the family, she is very well rounded person. Heather is currently enrolled in Le Cordon Blue pursuing a associates degree in pattisierie I love you Heather.

Next is my oldest son Kenny, what to say about a teenager that knows everything. Kenny is a great young man, he likes to swim and hang out and do back flips. Kenny is a very smart student in school and very athletic. Keep up the good work Ken.

Last but not least, Weslie, well stuck in the preteen stage, he is the most versatile kid I know. He loves to ride his Haro, loves video games. Weslie is great in school and also is a member of the band as the first chair Flute, he has since moved on and now involved in sports and politics at school.

My family is a normal family and we all like to just hang out, we like to camp and watch movies together. We also love pets 5 dogs 2 cats and a fish..

Heather, thank you for all your support and love, I could not have done it with out you. Kenny and Weslie, thanks for being the best kids in the world!!!

I love you all.
