Oracle on Monday announced a sneak peak at features slated for MySQL 5.6, the next version of its open-source database, that focus on improved scalability



From PC World:

New features include a full-text search function that enables developers to index and search text-based information held in InnoDB storage engine tables; an increase in the maximum size of InnoDB redo log files to 2TB, which boosts performance for write-intensive application workloads; faster MySQL replication; and an API (application programming interface) that allows users to "seamlessly integrate MySQL with both new and legacy applications and data stores."
