More than 100 people participated &#8211; developers, DBAs and hobbyists from all over the world. Database developers participated from PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Drizzle, TokuDB, LucidDB, MongoDB, Cassandra, CouchDB and many more. <\/p>\n<p>The great thing about these events is the opportunity to trade ideas, code and stories. One project I&#8217;m very excited about is coming from some Portland State University students and a capstone project to <a href=\"http:\/\/opensqlcamp.org\/Drizzle_Client_Rewrite\">create a new, interactive database client<\/a> that works with more than just one DBMS. Igal gave a <a href=\"http:\/\/opensqlcamp.org\/Non-Relational_Database_Stores\">review of non-relational datastores<\/a>. We had lightning talks about: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.luciddb.org\/\">open source column store databases<\/a>, a <a href=\"http:\/\/mituzas.lt\/2008\/05\/14\/trainwreck-external-mysql-replication-agent\/\">many-master replication system called Trainwreck<\/a>, open source at Microsoft, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/brianaker\/no-sql-talk\">how to translate between NoSQL and SQL<\/a> and many more.<\/p>\n<p>You can see the <a href=\"http:\/\/opensqlcamp.org\/Events\/Portland2009\/Schedule\">full list of talks and notes<\/a> from sessions as people update the wiki.<\/p>\n<p>Joking about NoSQL aside, I was very happy to see many <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.neotechnology.com\/emil\/2009\/11\/nosql-scaling-to-size-and-scaling-to-complexity.html\">non-relational database developers<\/a> in attendance, sharing information and participating in interesting discussions about the data management ecosystem. One meme we were happy to spread is that every tool has a purpose and I was happy to see this tweet:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.skitch.com\/20091116-gqp1ug43wwaq7gdw7e3u59mjr5.png\" alt=\"Best thing I learned at #opensqlcamp today: #nosql vs. #sql is a false duality. Different features for different problem domains.\"><\/p>\n<p>I hope next time we can get a few more core Postgres developers to a Camp. Mark Callaghan expressed interest in a comparison of backend storage mechanisms, and several people were interested in detailed comparisons of replication strategies across many DBMSes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/groups.google.com\/group\/opensqlcamp\/browse_thread\/thread\/fc701ea9cc7096e5\">Thank you<\/a> to everyone who participated! (sorry I spelled your name wrong in the email, Mark. And left off your name in the list of GoDaddy road-trippers, Dan.) If you were there, please give us <a href=\"http:\/\/opensqlcamp.org\/Events\/Portland2009\/Feedback\">feedback<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re already looking forward to the next OpenSQL Camp. Some people thought we should do it again in Portland &#8211; and we&#8217;d be happy to host again next year!
