Absolutely true. MySQL is not seriously condsidered to be a deployable database in the industry (or at least the part I work in). FWIW, we rarely see any demand for Sybase, either. For DBs and data management systems, Oracle, DB2 and SAP seem to predominate. However, this could admittedly depend upon what scale you are talking about, too. -- burns _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
