They created a new SQL interface, while keeping the same API as mSQL. It was initially created for personal usage from mSQL based on the low-level language ISAM, which the creators considered too slow and inflexible. ![]() Original development of MySQL by Widenius and Axmark began in 1994. MySQL was created by a Swedish company, MySQL AB, founded by Swedes David Axmark, Allan Larsson and Finland Swede Michael "Monty" Widenius. History ĭavid Axmark (left) and Michael "Monty" Widenius, founders of MySQL AB, in 2003 It has also been tested to be a "fast, stable and true multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server". MySQL has received positive reviews, and reviewers noticed it "performs extremely well in the average case" and that the "developer interfaces are there, and the documentation (not to mention feedback in the real world via Web sites and the like) is very, very good". Additionally, a number of third party organisations exist to provide support and services. They differ in the scope of services and in price. Oracle offers paid support via its MySQL Enterprise products. Free support additionally is available in different IRC channels and forums. Support can be obtained from the official manual. They are offered under GPL version 2, or a proprietary license. The MySQL server software itself and the client libraries use dual-licensing distribution. MySQL works on many system platforms, including AIX, BSDi, FreeBSD, HP-UX, ArcaOS, eComStation, IBM i, IRIX, Linux, macOS, Microsoft Windows, NetBSD, Novell NetWare, OpenBSD, OpenSolaris, OS/2 Warp, QNX, Oracle Solaris, Symbian, SunOS, SCO OpenServer, SCO UnixWare, Sanos and Tru64. Its SQL parser is written in yacc, but it uses a home-brewed lexical analyzer. MySQL is also used by many popular websites, including Facebook, Flickr, MediaWiki, Twitter, and YouTube. MySQL is used by many database-driven web applications, including Drupal, Joomla, phpBB, and WordPress. MySQL is a component of the LAMP web application software stack (and others), which is an acronym for Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/ PHP/ Python. MySQL has stand-alone clients that allow users to interact directly with a MySQL database using SQL, but more often, MySQL is used with other programs to implement applications that need relational database capability. ![]() In 2010, when Oracle acquired Sun, Widenius forked the open-source MySQL project to create MariaDB. MySQL was owned and sponsored by the Swedish company MySQL AB, which was bought by Sun Microsystems (now Oracle Corporation). MySQL is free and open-source software under the terms of the GNU General Public License, and is also available under a variety of proprietary licenses. In addition to relational databases and SQL, an RDBMS like MySQL works with an operating system to implement a relational database in a computer's storage system, manages users, allows for network access and facilitates testing database integrity and creation of backups. SQL is a language programmers use to create, modify and extract data from the relational database, as well as control user access to the database. A relational database organizes data into one or more data tables in which data may be related to each other these relations help structure the data. Its name is a combination of "My", the name of co-founder Michael Widenius's daughter My, and "SQL", the acronym for Structured Query Language.

But it can work in spaces with low overhead, such as coal mines. The Scoop Shovel doesn’t have the digging power of a standard shovel. A standard shovel for a crane that size would have a ¾-yard capacity or so. The shovel’s capacity is about 2 cubic yards, which is typically found on a much larger machine. It extends out to about 20 feet high and is designed for higher capacity shoveling and unloading than typical cable shovels. Operating the shovel is also a little strange. “The way you’ve got to run it now is that you're pretty much always waiting for the bucket to either dump or to come back, because hydraulics is just slow on it,” Marsh says. He’s not exactly sure how it originally worked other than it likely had a trip bucket, in which the operator would pull the dipper trip to dump materials and then reset it. As a big fan of friction cranes, Marsh believes that has made it a slower machine.

![]() ![]() But many amateurs would love to have a pro app to make BIG observations with their respectfully-sized telescopes! Hence iObserve is built really with both in mind. It was my first intention to target a pro audience with this app. And if you need an observatory that isn’t in the pre-defined list-whether it’s your astro club meeting place or your backyard-you can create your own! New in the latest 1.0.5 version are Finding Charts! You can now easily download charts from DSS, SDSS and 2MASS in various photometric bands, with plenty of options.Īlso new in this version: an “Observatories” section to easily access observatory information, websites, and map. iObserve also provides its famous Times Bar with times of UT, Local, (Modified) Julian Day and the Local Mean Sidereal Time of an observatory. The night itself can be scaled up and down, and shifted (if you need to observe during the day…). Of course, airmass curves can be compared and the date of the observing night can be slided up to easily match future observing runs. Once entered, its coordinates are automatically resolved and iObserve provides the trackable airmass curve, the closest (currently Landolt, UKIRT & UVESPOP) standard stars, aliases with ViziR links, the latest 100 ADS references, a way to easily change coordinates to celestial or galactic, for whatever epoch and units, and many other little niceties. IObserve ($12, Free Demo) is an app that I have developed to let you prepare your observations bringing a wealth of useful information by simply entering the name of an object. Having left research, I am now a professional Mac and iOS developer in a small start-up during the day, and an indie one during my evenings. Like many software, iObserve is the app I would have loved to have years ago, when I was a support astronomer in La Silla Observatory, in Chile. After more than a year of development, starting almost from scratch, iObserve is now a stable and complete app aimed at planning and performing professional astronomical observations. This is a guest post by Cédric Foellmi, the developer of a Mac App called iObserve.

Lest we forget, Rock and Roll Part 2 has a longstanding connection with US sports, where, along with Steam’s Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye and Queen’s We Will Rock You, it has historically been associated with the spoils of victory. Today, given its author’s lurid indiscretions – Gadd began a 16-year prison sentence in 2015 for attempted rape, indecent assault and the sexual abuse of a 13-year-old girl (not to mention a series of previous crimes) – Rock and Roll Part 2 is undoubtedly ‘tarnished’.īut does this mean we should turn our backs on what is still an outstanding piece of music arguably one of the greatest rock instrumentals of all time? There is a case to be made both for and against this argument. The track, written by Glitter alongside Mike Leander, was released in March 1972 as a single from the Liberace-styled rocker’s debut album, Glitter. In the past few days, it has emerged that all royalties are likely to go not to the jailed rocker, but to Universal Music Publishing Group and a number of other associated parties, which bought the rights to the track more than two decades ago.īut that hasn’t stopped Rock and Roll Part 2 from being on the receiving end of plenty of vitriolic tut-tutting from the social media galleries.
