DRI is organizing an open SugarCRM event again. The event takes place in Lisbon, 19th of May.
I had the honor to take part in the project GalpShare, which will be featured as one of the case studies. If you are in or around Lisbon, don’t miss it!:)

Ext 2.2 is out, but where are the old releases? [UPDATE]

·3 mins

If you like Ext JS, the new 2.2 version brings out some nice features for you. No question Ext is a great library and worth to play with, despite the recent disputes around the license change from LGPL to GPL.
My only frustration with Ext was only a few days ago, when i was about to make modifications in an open source project that had an earlier Ext 2.0 bundled, but not fully! So where can i get the full Ext 2.0 package to add some adapter files that were missing?

SugarCRM redundant indexes

·2 mins

…ok, so i was doing some database tuning recently to speed up one of our deployed instance of SugarCRM, when i became alert of an interesting phenomenon.

The table accounts not only had a primary key(id), which is normal, but also had a composite key(id, deleted) named idx_accnt_id_del. Now wait a minute! Even if you perform a query with id AND deleted criteria, id already points to a single record in the table, since it is a unique primary key. Thus the composite key makes absolutely no sense!
Mysqlperformanceblog, which i have read a lot lately, confirms my findings.
I didn’t try any of the tools they mention in the comments section, but by quickly searching for “id_del” in Sugar vardef files reveals that the following tables have the same problem:
- roles
- acl_actions
- acl_roles
- fields_meta_data
