Well said. Something for me to keep in the memory banks for the next time someone brings up a NDA.

So much good info here. I’ve been doing a bit of research on optimization. Also found this post by a WI developer to be very useful. http://timkadlec.com/2010/02/performance-optimization-made-quick-and-simple/

Comment on How about profiling your mysql queries… later? by Billy

Making the assumption that the dev has access to their server, why not just write a tool to parse out your slow query log nightly and run explain against each query that appears in it?

I think you’ll find the case isn’t necessarily poorly written queries, but rather using 4 or 5 queries to do what you could do with 1. So your explain will show 4-5 fairly quick queries that could be replaced by 1 fairly quick query however logging all queries and looking for patterns can help catch this.

Comment on Exploring MySQL in Eclipse PDT by Aaron

I believe this version of the system would require you to set up the ssh connection first, unfortunately.

I never really found netbeans good enough to solve my needs… also mac? eww eww. :-p

Nifty! Now if someone would come up with a Mac version of PDT that was actually usable I might jump on that. (I keep telling myself “the next version will work.” I used NetBeans for a few years and moved to Eclipse when I worked in Windows, but when I moved to Mac I found both to be incredibly unstable on that platform. My PHP/Perl/JS/HTML/CSS/MySQL workflow on Mac centers around jEdit and Sequel Pro, both of which are free and fairly minimal in resource usage.

While it would be nice to have the integrated testing and built-in server that you can get with Eclipse PDT I have learned (for now) to live without it.

I do occasionally (as in every time) try again when new Mac builds of Eclipse PDT or Aptana studio come out though, so I have a question about using the DB from Eclipse: does it have the capability to set up an SSH tunnel or is that something you would have to do yourself before opening the connection? (I ask because Sequel Pro will actually set up the SSH tunnel for you which makes it really handy and keeps me from closing everything down at the end of the day and forgetting that I have an open tunnel in a terminal somewhere – yeah, I can be an airhead.)

Comment on Remove Internet Explorer Button Border by Benxamin

IE 6, IE 7 and IE 8 (running in compatibility as 7).

We fixed it by adding another SPAN just inside the button. The first child of the BUTTON tends to receive the focus, so you can mask the effects with the styles on the second child.

BUTTON begin-door
SPAN (receives IE focus so your door doesn’t get the border)
SPAN end-door
TEXT
/SPAN
/SPAN
/BUTTON
