MySQL Cluster 7.3 DMR2: Increasing Developer Flexibility and Simplicity

The MySQL team at Oracle are excited to announce the immediate availability of the second MySQL Cluster 7.3 Development Milestone Release (DMR). Some might call MySQL Cluster 7.3 "the foreign keys release" - and sure enough it is a major engineering achievement to build a distributed database that enforces referential integrity across a shared-nothing cluster, while maintaining ACID compliance and cross-shard JOINs. But MySQL Cluster 7.3 is so much more as well. The design focus has been on enabling developer agility - making it simpler and faster than ever to enhance new services with a highly scalable, fault tolerant, real-time database - with minimum development or operational effort.
