I see so many posts on what happened to company X, product Y and dream Z that I couldn't resist the temptation to summarize this great year for MySQL. At the end of 2010, Oracle did an announcement we were all waiting for: MySQL 5.5 is GA! Another year has passed since then and it's time to reflect on what has been done.
I know this is a long post. I tried to rewrite it at least 10 times to make it shorter, but I couldn't condense the list. Hence, I wrote a summary in the beginning for those who don't want to read it all.
I believe that 2011 was an exceptional year for MySQL and I really enjoy being part of this team. I wish all of us a lot of success and fun in the years to come!
Summary:
Oracle released many MySQL 5.6 and MySQL Cluster 7.2 DMRs accompanied by new versions of MySQL Enterprise Monitor (http://mysql.com/products/enterprise/monitor.html), MySQL Enterprise Backup (http://mysql.com/products/enterprise/backup.html), MySQL Workbench (http://www.mysql.com/products/workbench/) (and utilities), MySQL Proxy, MySQL Cluster Manager (http://www.mysql.com/products/cluster/mcm/) and Connectors.
The MySQL team unveiled new products like the MySQL Installer for Windows and Oracle VM Templates for MySQL. Besides, the MySQL Enterprise (http://www.mysql.com/products/enterprise/) offering has been enriched with new commercial extensions. MySQL can now be leveraged as one of the Oracle data management solutions with new certifications and the integration with My Oracle Support increased the business value of customers' investment on Oracle technologies.
Additionally MySQL presented at mayor events (http://mysql.com/news-and-events/events/)across the world and won a few awards (http://www.mysql.com/why-mysql/awards/).
