I know a lot of people here already use MySQL, postgres, etc. We are interested in upgrading the VFP9 database so that files can exceed 2gb and still have great performance like we have now.
We have not done the upgrade mainly because of the support. We have thousands of users installed. When we send out an update or install a new client for VFP9, it is no problem because we can simply send out a prg that creates the dbf. There is no special administration required as everyone here knows. Question: can we do the same unattended installation with Maria? Most of our clients (Healthcare offices) know very little about computers and would not know where to begin with anything more than clicking on an EXE. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ted Roche" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 1:41 PM Subject: Re: [NF] Why should use Maria instead of MySQL ?

One of the original MySQL owners (who, it should be pointed out, sold the trademark to Sun for some presumed profit) is unhappy with the project as it is currently managed and spun off his own.
