In the old days (when men were men) there were computer scientists and engineers who would analyze technologies and make design decisions... sometimes choosing one technology over another. In those days, computers were a lot slower. MulitValue always had tremendous speed advantages and was chosen by experts who were designing things like MRP (Material Requirements Planning) systems that had to handle a lot of complex data or say do complex calculations.
These days, a lot of talented computer scientists and engineers realize that MultiValue still has a lot to offer. Design decisions for MultiValue now seems to have more to do with total costs. When comparing U2 to Oracle or Microsoft SQL, U2 wins. When comparing U2 to MySQL, U2 still wins. Microsoft's Azure SQL is something of a new animal with a new costing model. Will U2 win? --Bill -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Holt, Jake Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2011 10:44 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Interesting Article I'm not sure being cheaper than Oracle can really be touted as an advantage, there aren't many things out there that are more expensive than oracle =D. And all of those things you just mentioned are also true of many FREE databases, so again, why pick U2? _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
