MySQL Conference 2007 by jcannon on March 08, 2007 03:38AM

Folks may be aware of our technical collaborations with open source companies like Zend, JBoss and SugarCRM, but to-date, our work with MySQL hasn't gained as much attention.

Some background. Over the summer of 2006, MySQL joined the Visual Studio Industry Program, a program that grants institutions, researchers, companies,etc. access to the extensibility components of Visual Studio. This, in turn, allows Visual Studio to become a platform for developers to build new functionality on-top of what we release. There's even a catalog for these extensions.

MySQL's extension is hosted here and allows for full DDEX capability and database object manipulation from within Visual Studio Server Explorer.  It's a great example of the technical collaboration and engineering work needed to create the code behind interoperability.

The good news is we'll be talking more about this in the coming months. And as part of our continuing relationship with MySQL, we're also a sponsor of their upcoming user conference. While we work out the details, please drop a line if you're planning on attending.

    Part of the table making up the page "catalog for these extensions"/"VSIP Program >> Product Catalog" refers to "https://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/extend/" for a background image.  This currently results in a warning that the certificate for msdn.microsoft.com expired on Feb 23rd.  While Port 25 has had some good articles on "Infrastructure Management and Strategic Design," the SSL/TLS certificate part of asset management is still lacking.  Maybe someday Codeplex will have a MySQL based solution to this problem?

    It's going to be a busy couple months in the open source industry, with a number of influential conferences convening over the next six months to discuss the latest issues, advances and topics facing OSS. More on those later, but I wanted to get something
