Mark,

There are more benchmarks for Percona Server on a way to be published shortly.
Thank you for your reminder one needs to backup claims with specific results.

Can we get a few benchmark results to document this claim?

Jason:

McAfee has an open source audit plugin that can be used on any MySQL version >= 5.1. I have no experience using Oracle’s plugin, but judging from the documentation, it seems McAfee’s plugin is a bit more flexible (i.e. I couldn’t find a way to limit audit to specific tables on the manual section you linked).

You can find out more about this plugin here: https://github.com/mcafee/mysql-audit, and I recently blogged about this here too: http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2013/05/23/experiences-with-the-mcafee-mysql-audit-plugin/

Regards,
Fernando.

We don’t currently have a date for Windows binaries. If this is something you really want, I can put our sales team in touch with you and see if we can work something out.

Is there any Windows binary release of Percona Server 5.6, or even the intend to release one in the near future ?

We don’t have a drop in replacement for the audit plugin in MySQL Enterprise, although you should talk to us about developing one for you.

I’ll get somebody else to answer the question on what people use for compliance.

I would say that current 5.6 releases (and even the top of trunk BZR tree) are as stable as any Oracle 5.6 or Percona Server 5.5 release. What you’re probably wanting to know is when we’ll declare Percona Server 5.6 a GA release 🙂

The answer to that question is: soon. We’re finishing up the last bits of polishing for it so it’s not far away at all.

Does Percona’s Enterprise Grade MySQL Server have an Audit Log Plugin like MySQL Enterprise does (i.e. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/audit-log-plugin.html)?

If it doesn’t, what do people use with Percona Server to achieve a compliance solution?

Cheers

When do they anticipate the stable 5.6 release?
