[erlang-questions] [ANN] myproto - MySQL Server Protocol

[Manuel A. Rubio "Bombadil"]

Hi,

I'd like to share this project, is some odd because it's the server
part of the MySQL protocol, but can be used for create servers with
MySQL connection for data transport, proxies for MySQL, and whatever :-)

https://github.com/bosqueviejo/myproto

Comments are welcome!

Thanks.
Manuel Rubio.

Sounds nice.

How compatible with MySQL itself are you? How did you test it?

I didn't yet tests about compatibility, but I follow the specs in the
MySQL and works well with mysql client :-)

It is good.

For example sphinx search engine has switched from handmade protocol to mysql protocol and now you can work with search engine just like with a mysql database.

The same approach can be implemented if you have statistics. For example, ejabberd showing online users or message history.

Isn't this risky because of Oracle ?

If someday they decide to do something about the protocol ? (license fee)

So, I change the name to MariaDB/Percona Server Protocol :-)

There was one lawsuit two years ago when Adobe published specification of "RTMP". At least they tell that they have published spec of protocol, and it was written in specification that anyone who is reading this spec must implement server only according to this spec.

Of course, they lied in specification and flash player couldn't work by this spec, so they have suied wowza, telling that they are fooling their customers and sending video by protocol which is not rtmp. Answer of wowza was that adobe is also selling software that is not using their published specification =)

Btw, I doubt that all this insane is still actual behind US borders.
