In this note I'll show how to use the color palettes in "slide:ology" by Nancy Duarte (those of us who spoke at the MySQl Conference received it as a nice gift from O'Reilly).
Step 1 is to download Entrance Community edition from our web site:
http://dbentrance.com/. You need JRE 1.6 or better and access to a MySQL server to run it. Simply unzip the download and start the program with "java -jar…

While working with the MySQL Enterprise Dashboard I found a small problem when trying to use the Query Analyzer. The test server I am running on had a user used by the dev team that had the following privileges:
GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'test_user'@'10.18.%' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD 'HASHNOTGIVEN';
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, LOCK TABLES, EXECUTE, SHOW VIEW, TRIGGER ON `canoe`.* TO 'test_user'@'10.18.%';
