Logical File – more than the sum of its parts

November 27, 2020 by David Shears 1 Comment

An interesting problem I came across recently, completely self-inflicted as these things often are so hopefully a cautionary tale to avoid others repeating it!

Hello Maria!

November 26, 2020 by Andy Youens 2 Comments

Hello Maria! – I can’t say that without sounding like Leslie Philips – showing my age again! One of the cutting-edge recent additions from IBM for their Open Source offerings is Maria DB.

One that I’m not sure I want to admit how long it took me to find the answer, so I figure instead I’ll tell you all a story and hopefully it’s one more link out there with the solution. A bit of background, for one of our customers we have a utility to handle passthrough […]
