Amen. In Miracle we'll do nicely in the years to come by being able to 
support VMS, PL/SQL (the COBOL of the databases - widely used, very 
efficient, not in vogue anymore for new projects), perhaps Oracle (if it 
goes the way we could fear), UNIX (which is certainly dead now - if you 
had any doubts before, it's obvious by now. It's over.), and other 
legacy products and systems. It might not be a growth area, but it will 
be around for many years.

There are so many good ideas out there from the various database 
vendors. The whole MySQL thing seems very smart (and will win over 
PostgreSQL of course, because the marketing is better). Microsoft's idea 
of allowing you to write stored procedures in .Net compliant languages 
(I wish Oracle would make PL/SQL .Net compliant - that would be very 
cool indeed) which makes it possible to get rid of that #¤% TransactSQL 
crap. Oracle's new-found emphasis on the right performance stuff in 10g.

But I wonder if databases will be something special at all in a few 
years time? Why not just do Google-things for selects and some 
not-yet-invented Google-DML on all sorts of data sources?

Microsoft will make SQL Server a part of the file system in 2005, I 
think. Then what? It's Linux and Windows and nothing else then.

Nice thoughts Mogens. I just read an article in a Dutch magazine which
states, and I fully agree, that the whole Soapy netservice thing won't
work. 
Or will webservices be 2PC enabled? That will scale! (Use more soap)
:-(
I like your idea of google-dml. it's a real challenge! let's make
google-2pc and google-PL/SQL!

Nope, we would be using IMS and/or CICS  DL/I. On the beginning
of my career, when I was a junior programmer using completely outdated,
badly overused language (COBOL, for short) an ancient IBM 3084 with only 32M RAM
was able to service 800+ users, as long as there weren't too many TSO users.
I'd hate to explain what CICS, MVS and TSO are (or were), but those things were way 
more
optimal and way faster then any other database I've ever seen, and that was
happenening in the year 1986. At the end of 1986, I was reassigned to check out that 
wonderful new box with OS that has held so much promiseVAX 3900 with VMS 4.6.
Does anybody still remember the NULL.COM and NULL process?

Nope, we would be using IMS and/or CICS  DL/I. On the beginning
of my career, when I was a junior programmer using completely outdated,
badly overused language (COBOL, for short) an ancient IBM 3084 with only 32M RAM
was able to service 800+ users, as long as there weren't too many TSO users.
I'd hate to explain what CICS, MVS and TSO are (or were), but those things were way 
more
optimal and way faster then any other database I've ever seen, and that was
happenening in the year 1986. At the end of 1986, I was reassigned to check out that 
wonderful new box with OS that has held so much promiseVAX 3900 with VMS 4.6.

32MB?  We'd have given our left insert body part here for 32MB.  We had an
8MB 4341 that ran the whole school (remember those days, Al?).  Try
compiling a CICS program on that puppy during Registration!  And then I

While I agree that the older machines and 3GL technologies *ran* faster, it
took 8 times longer to develop a simple report.  a thousand lines of cobol
code to produce a simple list.  and wait for a change request.  another week
to figure out what the other programmer did, make a minor change, test it
and return it to the user.  all the while, they are scratching their head
saying what the frig is taking so long?.

No way.  we are in a much better position now.

Uncle Larry, wake up!!!

2003-11-06 Thread Goulet, Dick
The last statements in the article are really telling:

Yet, despite MySQL's progress in the market, we haven't found very much MySQL 
out there, says Microsoft's Rizzo. 

That's the best news I could have, retorts Mickos, MYSql AB. As long as 
Microsoft is in denial, we're fine. 

Could we add Uncle Larry to the list of those in denial??

MYSQL BREAKS INTO THE DATA CENTER

MySQL is changing the nature of the database market with a powerful combination of low 
cost and high performance.
