Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

I wanted to install MySQL Galera Cluster 5.6 on the new Ubuntu 14.04 with provided packages. It was a bit tricky to make it work.

A customer asked:

I would like to know if the FromDual Performance Monitor for MySQL works with Zabbix 2.0?

Here I’m checking from my Zabbix installation towards the same host: sudo -u zabbix zabbix_get --host=192.168.0.10 --source-address=192.168.0.10 --key="FromDual.MySQL.check" ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED Template is applied to the host configuration.

I prefer MySQL binary tar balls with Galera...

MySQL out in the wild

One of our partners recently asked me on what platforms do we usually see MySQL installed out there...

The last 5 years I gave the answer: Typically it is 80% Linux, 10% Windows, 5% Solaris and 5% all others. But this was only the picture of my limited view and I was not sure how objective this was.

This time I really wanted to know it and so I collected the information of about 570 MySQL installations of customers.

The following numbers came out:
