These are the slides from my presentation at MySQL Conference and Expo 2007 held in Santa Clara, CA. The talk was focused on scaling InnoDB to meet Fotolog's unique challenges.

11. Partitioning SHARD 1 SHARD 2 SHARD 3 Table_v1 Table_v2 Table_v3 Table_v4

12. Partitioning thoughts

13. Ideal distribution

21. InnoDB Tablespace Structure (Simplified) PK / CLUSTERED INDEX SECONDARY INDEX PK (clustered index key) 6 byte header Links together consecutive records & used in row-level locking Clustered index contains Fields for all user-defined columns 6 byte trx id 7 byte roll pointer 6 byte row id If no PK or UNIQUE NOT NULL defined Record Directory Array of Pointers to each field of the record 1 byte: If the total length of fields in record is 128 bytes 2 bytes: otherwise Data part of record

22. InnoDB Index Structure (Simplified) DATA PAGE PK INDEX / CLUSTERED INDEX SECONDARY INDEX PK ROW DATA PK
