Title: MySQL 5.7 - New Features and Things That Will Break
Abstract: MySQL is the most popular database on the web and 5.6 was our best release ever. But 5.7 is rapidly approaching and there are big changes coming. There will be better performance, improved diagnostics, more cloud-centric features, and security improvements. But some changes will break some applications; STRICT_MODE is the default SQL MODE and that WILL break Wordpress installations. So come hear about the changes and have a chance to prepare.
