I doubt your installbase is a quarter of Monty's, and Monty doesn't need more users Everyone with a FS system uses it. > pity that it can't actually do what people will need from here and into > the future, let along scale up to department sized loads, etc. It runs Slashdot - Gee how is that. It ran my Medical School Clinic with over 60 million records, read and wrting constantly, out of the box with almost no changes. I ran an industrial plant with it and their labeling system. >And if > you want to then migrate to a more powerful database server, such as > Oracle, DB2, Sybase, Yeah - Oracle is a Dream -- NOT Do you want is small and light or a monster like Oralce which avises a recompile of the kernel for more shared memory segments prior to install > expect them to be massively inefficient until you > re-write your application.

This just scuks. Both those methods are more inefficent than anything else I can think of. ODBC is a complete non-starter. It's FAT, a resource and network hog, inflexible and flatout insecure. Other than that, it's fine. > The majority of people who need a database on a website don't need > transactions, subselects, an system optimised for scalability, etc. > They need a database which "does the job" for their website. MORE IMPORTANTLY - The zillions of secretaries using ACCESS don't need it. This is called playing both ends against the facts and the truth. As I said, this is NOT open for debate. No MYSQL support and the product is a non-starter. > > MySQL is *not* going to be packaged along with OOo.

It comes preinstalled with the BOX and the secretary makes the decision. YEESH I guess you haven't noticed this trend. -- __________________________ Brooklyn Linux Solutions __________________________ http://www.mrbrklyn.com - Consulting http://www.nylxs.com/radio - Free Software Radio Show and Archives http://www.brooklynonline.com - For the love of Brooklyn http://www.nylxs.com - Leadership Development in Free Software http://www.nyfairuse.org - The foundation of Democracy http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/resources - Unpublished Archive or stories and articles from around the net http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/mp3/dr.mp3 - Imagine my surprise when I saw you... http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/downtown.html - See the New Downtown Brooklyn.... 1-718-382-5752 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- __________________________ Brooklyn Linux Solutions __________________________ http://www.mrbrklyn.com - Consulting http://www.nylxs.com/radio - Free Software Radio Show and Archives http://www.brooklynonline.com - For the love of Brooklyn http://www.nylxs.com - Leadership Development in Free Software http://www.nyfairuse.org - The foundation of Democracy http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/resources - Unpublished Archive or stories and articles from around the net http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/mp3/dr.mp3 - Imagine my surprise when I saw you... http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/downtown.html - See the New Downtown Brooklyn.... 1-718-382-5752 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
