Future InnoDB File Formats

Posted by Vadim

Looking into InnoDB docs I found list of names of future InnoDB file formats: Antelope, Barracuda, Cheetah, Dragon, Elk, Fox, Gazelle, Hornet, Impala, Jaguar, Kangaroo, Leopard, Moose, Nautilus, Ocelot, Porpoise, Quail, Rabbit, Shark, Tiger, Urchin, Viper, Whale, X, Y and Zebra.

Aren’t there animals starting on X and Y?

We had access to this code for few weeks and should say we were impressed in quality (we found only one crash bug which was fixed in less than 24 hours) as well as performance improvements to compression and fast index build functionality. As it is now publicly released we’ll try to put it to some production slaves to see how well it works.

And finally news Sun Tackles Video Codec with info “Sun is working on a royalty-free and open video codec and media system”
