Visits to our MySQL article pages (www.artfulsoftware.com/queries.php, http://www.artfulsoftware.com/infotree/mysqlquerytree.php, www.artfulsoftware.com/infotree/mysqltips.php, www.artfulsoftware.com/infotree/mysqltiptree.php) went up 10% from 2012-2013 and have gone up 20% from 2013-2014.

Please gentlemen,

It is a valid question if a somewhat hackneyed one.

MySQL continues to live on in many forms but obviously, would have to lose
some ground in the face of the NoSQL solutions which are in vogue. The
concepts of relational data are too powerful to stop being relevant but it
is not longer the universal data store it once was seen as (The aplies to
RDBMS in general).

Let's not ugly up this list (which I have been on for an absurdly long
time) with flame wars.  It certainly does not have the bandwidth it once
did, but flames are a terrible way to boost it.

Well, this mailing list is dead.  This is a mailing list that used to
handle 70+ questions a day, or more.

Is that why you feel the need to troll on posts from two years ago?

If you think it's dead, unsubscribe and go install MSSQL. If not, either
ask a question or stop wasting bandwidth.

Bye now.

No, but I thought it was interesting to see what has happened within the
last 2 years.  Its not an issue of trolling.  But perhaps Oracle could
have learned something from the MYSQL community, which it seems to have
failed to.  If you find that this post was troll, then you've more than
missed the point, you missed the entire boat.

Bandwidth?  This list no longer produces bandwidth...  It has been
abandoned.  What would you have done in those days when we handled so
much mail in this list that there was no time to answer trolls... the
real trolls?

You have a bad attitude man, and it sucks.

Now, back to business..
