Yes, I admit to those odd things. But gee what features you can get
now. I was almost ready to go co-lo but it looks like they will get
mod_perl working.
In any case you can now use mysql. I run msql and mysql on my
intranet and mysql is better (easier to insert new databases from the
command line:
msql DBname < db_to_insert
(and then the darn thing runs in verbose and I don't know how to turn
it off if possible)
mysql DBname < db_to_insert
(and it does its thing and lets you go)
I was running a calendar program on our intranent which would check
today's date, begin to draw the current montly calendar but also do a
lookup in the database for any events happening on any days in the
current month and write link of event to the right day. msql would
return an error every now and then. I have had no problem at all with
mysql.
And of course if you use the perl DBI interface it is a very simple
matter to switch to mysql.
BTW, if you have read this far, I just re-installed perl5 (which
actually installs a new version with nearly all plus more of the
modules I use already).
