Sun buying MySQL

By Andrew | January 16, 2008

Does Sun’s takeover of MySQL mean that I’m not going to have to deal with this anymore?


mysql> select count(*) from logs;

+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
| 15945539 |
+----------+
1 row in set (15 min 38.04 sec)

mysql> truncate logs;
Query OK, 14383750 rows affected (3 hours 11 min 15.98 sec)

3 hours to delete 15 million rows. Really? I’d think that’s a operation that you could speed up just a tad bit.
