MySQL Pluggable Storage Engine Series - Falcon

One of the reasons MySQL is the most popular open source database is that is offers the type of flexibility and freedom that proprietary database management systems simply do not provide. No database vendor but MySQL offers a series of database ‘engines’ that can be mixed and matched to exactly support the needs of critical production applications. The end result is exceptional performance, reduced overhead, and the type of reliability that modern businesses demand.

This paper first provides a brief overview of the MySQL pluggable storage engine architecture, with attention then being focused on one specific transactional MySQL engine, code named “Falcon”. The paper then highlights the reasons why those needing a transactional database to support their modern business requirements should turn to Falcon for managing their key production systems.
