"Join-fu: The Art of SQL Tuning for MySQL"

Space is limited, no 'maybes' allowed for this one!

Join-fu is the art of performance-tuning your application's SQL. Jay Pipes, from MySQL, gives a fun, irreverent look at the common ways application developers misuse and abuse their database.

We will cover a number of important topics in tuning your SQL application layer. We will not be covering tuning server variables or benchmarking, but instead the slides will be full of SQL and PHP code that the audience can immediately use to dramatically increase the performance of their schemas and applications.

The talk focuses on MySQL, but the tips and techniques used can easily be used to increase performance in a number of RDBMS-driven applications.
