In case this is ambiguous: 'gives MySQL a chance of remaining relevant' --> 'gives MySQL a chance via Drizzle of remaining relevant' Comparing MySQL with Oracle, Postgres and any other RDBMS is looking backwards. There are many products in progress meant to out-scale (HBase, Hypertable, ...) or out-avail (Cassandra, Voldemort, CouchDB) the typical MySQL deployment. Enhancing replication will allow MySQL to remain competitive in that market. > > -- > Mark Callaghan > [email protected] > -- Mark Callaghan [email protected] _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
