A Tale of Two MySQL Bugs

[sl4shd0t]

New submitter Archie Cobbs writes "Last May I encountered a relatively obscure performance bug present in both MySQL 5.5.x and MariaDB 5.5.x (not surprising since they share the same codebase). This turned out to be a great opportunity to see whether Oracle or the MariaDB project is more responsive to bug reports. On May 31 Oracle got their bug report; within 24 hours they had confirmed the bug — pretty impressive. But since then, it's been radio silence for 3 months and counting. On July 25, MariaDB got their own copy. Within a week, a MariaDB developer had analyzed the bug and committed a patch. The resulting fix will be included in the next release, MariaDB 5.5.33." http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=A+Tale+of+Two+MySQL+Bugs%3A+http%3A%2F %2Fbit.ly%2F1axS40U) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F13%2F09%2F09%2F2259206%2Fa-tale-of-two-mysql-bugs%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebo ok) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://developers.slashdot.org/story/13/09/09/2259206/a-tale-of-two-mysql-bugs?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
