MySQL 5.7 has been the most popular release but there are architectural and design issues that have caused issues for years. Version 8 is now available for testing and the biggest change is a true data dictionary (no more metadata in files) which means you can now have millions of tables in a schema (the bad news is that you can now have millions of tables in a schema). Plus there are roles, UTF8MB4 support, Invisible Indexes, are more to make your life better. Plus learn what happened to MySQL 6 and 7!

Very informative - I can’t wait to try out the new shell.

Nice overview of the MySQL 8! I hope that some of these great features will be backported to 5.7 :)

Good overview of what's coming in MySQL 8. Would have liked to see a few more slides focusing on the SQL or resulting data set examples.

Fantastic information about MySQL 8 - I'm especially a fan of the new MySQL shell! I think the pace was a little off, but over all great information about the new features.

I'm really excited to use some of these new features! This is great stuff and I appreciate the walkthrough. My only request would be to see examples of query results affected by the new features, as further illustration.
