    Excellent news.

    Though I just hope Sun stays true to form and doesn't kill the open source aspect.

    Cheers!

    Not using it now but have used PostgreSQL in the past when I used perl as my primary language. A lot more powerful but frankly, i don't use relationships.. so why would I bother? the way things are going, will there be any difference between the two soon?

    Heck, as far as efficiency goes, there's nothing like an old fashioned B-tree data structure. If you can code in C/C++ and mind your string pointers (thank God for STL), no relational database is as fast as a B-tree.

    As far as mySQL's future, I really don't see a lot of the "open source" developers who put the project on the map involved with it any more. Remember, there is a diference between a programmer putting his/her heart and soul into a free "open source" product and a Sun certified engineer making $90K per year who spends 40-60% of his/hertime in "team meetings"... Been on both sides and wasted two years of my life as a GUI developer for OS2 which got scrapped.

    As a developer, I wouldn't worry if Sun bombs mySQL because something else will step in to fill the void.

    Haha, Bryce, I knew once I started reading your post exactly where this was going. Man you are dead on with that call..... very insightful indeed.

    Postgres, here we come!
