MySQL

Thank you for sharing this — we really appreciate it! This is exactly the direction we want to support: more open discussion, clearer contribution paths, and stronger collaboration with the people building and running MySQL in real-world environments. We look forward to your proposals and continued participation! 🐬

Excited to see the MySQL Contributor Summit focusing on real community input rather than a top-down roadmap! AI/vector search, developer productivity, and easier GitHub-based contributions sound like huge steps forward. Looking forward to jumping in with proposals on the new wiki. Thanks @mysql_community!

Recap of MySQL Public Discussion #4 is here — with a look back at the MySQL Contributor Summit and what comes next for MySQL contributions. Read the summary and join the conversation. social.ora.cl/6016B8USho

@yoku0825 Thank you for the clarification, and apologies for the wording. You are right — they will share their thoughts and feedback from the recent MySQL Contributor Summit, not technical sessions. Looking forward to the discussion!

@mysql_community @lrf141 @tom__bo Excuse me, I'm Japanese MySQL User Group member. I ask them to talk about their thoughts about participating recent MySQL Contributors Summit, not technical session.

As part of Heather VanCura’s JAPAC tour, the Japan MySQL User Group Meetup kicks off in Tokyo on Jun 30. Heather will share the latest MySQL community updates, and MySQL Rockstar candidates @tom__bo and @lrf141 will present technical sessions. Join us! social.ora.cl/6013B8UUKl

@rene_cannao Totally agree — great callout. performance_schema and query digests are still some of the best ways to spot issues early and keep MySQL healthy. Thanks for adding to the conversation 🙌

@mysql_community Thanks for sharing the recording! Monitoring health and catching issues early with performance_schema + query digests is still one of the highest-ROI things teams can do.

Update 🚀 Heather VanCura is joining our MySQL 9.7 LTS webinar! With a new speaker added, this session will bring even more perspective on how MySQL is evolving—from performance and security to developer-focused features and community direction. We’re covering what’s new in 9.7 and how it can impact real-world applications. 👉 What are you most interested in exploring in this release? 👉 Join us on May 12 and be part of the discussion: social.ora.cl/6017BBjpbV

How is AI changing the way we approach database security? 🚀 In our latest blog, we look at how AI is raising the bar for MySQL security—from improving threat detection to strengthening protection in increasingly complex environments. As data and workloads evolve, security strategies need to evolve as well. 👉 How are you thinking about security in your MySQL environment today? 👉 Read more and join the discussion: social.ora.cl/6016BBrP4M

@CassieJFox Hi, thanks for reaching out. The MySQL forums are a great place to get step-by-step help with installation on Windows: social.ora.cl/6018BBOu9a The community there should be able to guide you through the setup.

@mysql_community IS there any easy way to install MY SQL 8.0 in windows 11 for 2019 SAM Broadcaster? In 16 years of using SAM & MY SQL I've never used a root password, never had to drop & drag components like shell, work bench to the right box, never had to use command prompt to copy & paste, this is just way too complicated & time consuming. I cannot broadcast with out help to do this set up. SAM BC Exe will not install until proper data base is installed corrrectly. I am an indie broadcaster, No one else uses my lap top. SO is it "Server" "development computer" or Custom" Do you have a specific tutorial?

@rene_cannao @rene_cannao great point—this is definitely an interesting area, especially as setups get more complex. We’ll be covering a mix of new features and improvements in 9.7, and it would be great to hear your perspective as well. Definitely join the session!

@mysql_community Looking forward to this. Performance and security improvements in newer versions are always welcome. One area that’s evolved a lot is how proxies and connection layers interact with the latest engine changes — curious which features you’re most excited about for production HA.

@rene_cannao 👍 Thank you!

Thank you @mysql_community for sharing the recording! In this session me and @ask_dba showed how combining MyVector (vector storage + HNSW indexing directly in MySQL) with @proxysql turns a standard MySQL instance into a fully AI-ready system — without adding a separate vector DB or forcing schema changes. ProxySQL handles the intelligent routing, RAG query rewriting, and observability layer so the application stays simple while getting native vector search + natural-language capabilities. Would love to hear how others are experimenting with AI on top of their existing MySQL setups!

New recording from MySQL Belgium Days 2026 is now available 🚀 Learn how AI-ready MySQL, vector search, and ProxySQL integration can transform performance and data operations. 👉 Watch now: social.ora.cl/6010BB1FRQ
