On Thursday, June 11 at 1400 UTC, Thomas Ulin, the MySQL Server Director, will host a MySQL University session on the recently announced new MySQL Release model.
MySQL University is a free online educational program that is open to everyone! This is a great opportunity for students who are looking to learn more about MySQL.

If you cannot attend live, the session will be recorded and the slides and voice can be viewed as a Flash movie. All past sessions can be watched by going to the MySQL University home page. Here you can find dozens of invaluable previous sessions in the archive.
There are more sessions scheduled for the coming weeks. However, it is subject to change so please check here for the most up-to-date schedule.
Ankit Bhagoliwal is a student at Poornima College of Engineering, Jaipur and a member of the OSUM community. He has written a great tutorial on how to use data from MySQL Server to help those who are restricted to using Microsoft SQL Server.
In his primer, Ankit looks at how to edit data that originated in MySQL to be used in MSSQL. He describes:
After completing the steps Ankit describes in detail, you can now run the script.
The great take-away from Ankit's blog is that he has shown how you can use either MySQL or MSSQL injection scripts to import any acquired databases into a system. If you use MySQL, you can simply do the process outlined in the blog in reverse to convert a MSSQL injection script into a MySQL one. As Ankit describes: "Either way, you can import data using an injection script from either of the two most popular database management systems in the world."
I strongly encourage you to read Ankit's blog on this subject. It is very well written, informative, and most importantly useful to a lot of people. Please continue to send ideas, links, and reviews to me either via OSUM or by e-mailing me at maijaliisa[dot]burkert[at]sun[dot]com.
