It doesn't, but it'd be foolish not to run Oracle on Solaris. Solaris is optimized for Oracle, and Oracle is optimized for Solaris. > Oracle > seems to be trying as hard as they can to cut all > ties with Sun, even going so far Is there an official statement anywhere to this effect?

MySQL is not a relational database management system, it's a shoddy SQL interface to a filesystem. MySQL "features" data corruption bugs which have been known since 2003, and they still aren't fixed; it is pointless to even mention MySQL just because the majority of database-incompetent people make it a fashion fad. Unfortunately, just because something is a fashion fad, does not automatically make it function correctly. Besides, to anyone even remotely considering the possibility or running MySQL, I can recommend PostgreSQL. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
