Oh no I agree, more features = more bloat... But how often do you see a car comparison and see a Porsche (100k+$) and a VW (20k) head-on dead heat race to the end line?
It's truly encouraging to see open source and home brewed stuff pulling serious load... As far as I am concerned Oracle is a big hunk of overpriced (read too dam* expensive) crud... sure if you are a bank or some other oversized monstrosity it is for you... all 5% of the total businesses if even that... Anyway... MySQL is just marvelous from here... fast, small, easy to manage... great cost - even if you are paying / licensing for real... Just so fed up... remember Oracle slobs in a previous life saying oh yea... 250k to rent the Oracle for a quad processor workgroup server running Slowlaris... 600k to actually buy it... We ended up sinking a few hundred K of real money into the crap... Sure it was good exposure but how in the heck can anyone say oh yeah we are going to drop a half mil on a program... For $600k I could create 3 real companies... Oracle is smoking crack. period... If the downturn takes them under I won't shed a tear.
