MySQL 5.6 is GA! Now we have new things to play with and in my personal opinion the most interesting one is the new Global Transaction ID (GTID) support in replication. This post is not an explanation of what is GTID and how it works internally because there are many documents about that: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/replication-gtids-concepts.html One [...]
The post How to create/restore a slave using GTID replication in MySQL 5.6 appeared first on MySQL Performance Blog.

Late in 2011 I conducted my first market research project on Knowledge Management. I wanted to get an idea of what was going on in the world, what projects you (royal you, not you personally) were working on, what projects you were going to invest money in, and (more than anything) what was affecting your [...]

SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) is released on a very regular cadence (note that I’m talking about the database projects part of SSDT, this is nothing to do with SSIS/SSAS/SSRS). Since the first release in March 2012 there have been releases in September 2012, November 2012, & December 2012. I personally have found it difficult to keep track of not only which particular version I am using but also that which are my colleagues are using – quite simply I didn’t know how to discover the current version number. I assumed that the answer would lie within Visual Studio 2012 in the Help->About Microsoft Visual Studio menu option, when I checked there I saw this:
A version number – 11.1.21208.0. What does that mean though? To understand more we have to go to Add/Remove programs:
There are many different items listed there, let’s look at them in turn:
So at the end of all that we have determined the following version numbers for SSDT database projects are:
| Release | Visual Studio 2010 version number | Visual Studio 2012 version number | ||
| September 2012 | 10.3.20905.0 | 11.1.20905.0 | ||
| November 2012 | 10.3.21101.1 | 11.1.21101.1 | ||
| December 2012 | 10.3.21208.0 | 11.1.21208.0 |
I do not know the version numbers for the March 2012, September 2012 & November 2012 releases (if anyone out there does know please let me know in the comments) however I shall update this blog post for future releases. September 2012 and November 2012 releases now added!
I have requested that any blog post to announce future releases should contain the version numbers. Let’s hope that happens.
