Future InnoDB File Formats

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?

    Xiphactinus Audax (one of the largest bony fish of the Late Cretaceous) ;)

  2. mmm… apparently whoever wrote that isn’t aware that there’s already a database product out there called Ocelot (http://www.ocelot.ca)

    Indeed, Peter, the early adopter documentation and code (which is very slightly newer than what you tested) did incorporate Xenops and Yak!

    This is kind of obvious but shouldn’t Gazelle have been Gnu?

    Besides, Gazelles are fast and beautiful. Gnus … well …

    Ken,

    We should make Posted By more visible – this was done by Vadim :)

    According to the source, there are animals with X and Y:

    /* List of animal names representing file format. */
    const char* file_format_name_map[] = {

    “Xenops”,
    “Yak”,

    };

    Hmm, tt’s very strange, becouse atom show correct author name: Vadim of this post.

    I’ve asked Jay to change planetmysql.org to show MySQL Performance Blog instead of Peter Zaitsev.

    You also can report the bug if it does not passes author information from original feed – there are a lot of blogs by multiple authors.
