  2. Would be great if you write something about good select statements and pattern search in big tables. interesting points are:

    - fulltext search
    - how to sort by relevance
    - what is better? joins or several statements
    - how to create select statements by query string in PHP or Java - eg exploding string by whitespace or considering brackets and "..."
    - techniques to optimize select statements
    - techniques to optimize tables (splitting, indices, etc)

    i think many mysql coders will be interested in this topic.

  3. All MySQL given the context I suppose:

    Any scripts/configs for monitoring/start-up/recovery? (I seem to remember slaves self-firewalling when they lag significantly mentioned at Flickr...)

    Any "gotchas" to avoid with master<->master, federation, sharding?

    Any recommended OS settings for standalone DB servers?

    What's your recommended DBA toolset? Command line MySQL client? PHPMyAdmin? custom Perl/PHP/python scripts? a GUI?

    Thanks for any of the above in advance :)
