Totally wrong understanding. Tom. Valentina Developers go be VDN way.
You can get VDN subscription at low flat price and then have huge discounts.
When somebody says - I need INFINITE server usually I ask why you think so?
Hot site with million hits per day, this is just 10 hits per second. :-)
Point is that exists options even more cheap than INF server.
And we see that 80% developers use NOT infinite server solutions.
This is why we have so many gradation of price for Valentina Server.
We do not want be like a Microsoft, which have simple $4999
for unlimited MS SQL Server.
Guys, we do not force and press nobody. :-)
If you like mySQL, its perfect.
IMHO, today people choose car, woman/man and DBMS by "if I like it".
:-)
I have hear so opposite opinions about "Why I like this or that DB"...
What is good for one developer, is nightmare for another:
One says - I love SQL, another says - I hate it.
One says - I love API way, aother says - I hate it.
One says I need speed at any price.
Other - I agree to be slow as tortilla but save.
