Nearly 10,000 entries at Planet MySQL!

By the way, the entry counter at Planet MySQL stands at 9982. Which blogger will capture the illustrious 10,000th entry, and will MySQL hand out a prize? I think it’s worthy, Planet MySQL has proven to be a great resource over the years.

Of course, there have been more posts, but prior to me setting up the current software infrastructure (March 2004), there was no archiving of old posts. Actually, it’d be great to be able to search the archives. Fairly simple to implement, MySQL Community team just needs to put the code out there so anyone external can do it. I’m happy to be embarassed (it’s my code 😉 so no worries there.

But let’s see, so it’s been about 4 years, that’s 2500 entries per year, about 48 entries per week. Not bad! I asked Lenz some time ago if he could run a query to show the trend of # of queries per week/month over time, also split out between MySQL employees, external community, aggregate other sources (the defined classes in the system). Should be very interesting to see. Again, if the code gets opened up, this is easy to do externally also.

(edited later to fix up the . -> , for thousands – see comments)

  1. I’d like to see some of those stats. Is the code based on an open source product I wonder?

  2. When you write in English, you write 10,000 for ten thousand. Not 10.000.

    – Your friendly neighborhood grammar nazi.

  3. Ye thanks – I kinda know that but my brain generally refuses to comply.
    It’s the Dutchie in me that does that – NL does it the other way round.
