What? MV is a completely foreign concept to most people and I'd wager a large number of DBAs. There is no conceivable way that installing U2, setting up a database, developing an application and presenting it using a technology that's not a dinosaur can be considering easy in comparison to the majority of other databases out there. If you're happy with the current MV market then that's fine, but my original intention in asking the question was to find out if there was really any conceivable reason that NEW users would adopt U2 over another option. If people are happy to just watch it bleed and die that's fine, but if you want the market to grow you're going to have to address some of the issues already brought up. Issues that many other databases addressed a decade ago. Like I said initially, I like U2, I just have no conceivable reason to use it outside our ERP system when I have a number of other options available that are, frankly, better. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bill Brutzman Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2011 9:30 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: [U2] Rocks Rob: This is the U2 list. The developers on this list... like, live, and breathe U2. U2 is a legacy database for in which, over decades, companies have invested in mega-mountains of code. I find it galling when newbies so often expect companies to instantly bail on their colossal stake. Is U2 ever going to be cloud-based? Maybe... maybe not. Although U2 is the UniVersal choice... for fresh new projects, designers may have good reasons to opt for a rival technologies. For add-on projects, U2 has an easy learning curve. I hope that this explanation sheds some new light. --Bill -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2011 9:26 PM Subject: Re: [U2] Why Pick U2 ?
