"We look forward to Infobright's participation in our annual conference, to provide attendees with practical, real-world instruction on how to address today's ad hoc data warehousing challenges."

      against commercial databases and more. Other participants include: 
      Brian Miezejewski, a principal consultant with MySQL; Charles Hopper,

With its Brighthouse solution, Infobright has fundamentally reinvented data warehouse architecture. Brighthouse represents a departure from other data warehouse solutions that require labor intensive data partitioning and indexing. In sharp contrast, Brighthouse achieves breakthrough performance -- particularly for highly complex, ad-hoc queries -- with its flexible, patent-pending Knowledge Grid and integrated Optimizer.

"As the world's most popular open source database software, MySQL has introduced Infobright to a broad community of users interested in new approaches to data warehousing," said Miriam Tuerk, chief executive officer of Infobright. "We are pleased to take part in the industry discussion at this year's MySQL Conference & Expo and to sharing Infobright's vision for helping MySQL users work smarter, not harder to achieve efficient analysis and business intelligence."

The MySQL Certified Storage Engine Program enables third-party ISVs and open source community developers to produce high-quality database engines for the millions of MySQL database users worldwide. More information on the program is available at solutions.mysql.com/engines.
