Where I work, we depend heavily on MySQL. We were recently made aware that Oracle may be slowly closing the source of MySQL; though we are a Sun customer, we depend heavily (and prefer) open source. I mentioned this to my boss and his response was to ask of the future of MariaDB -- because if this project doesn't survive, we're stuck with having to find yet another DB -- in that case, we might have to drink the Oracle koolaid if it comes to that, or move to PostgreSQL (something I've never touched). Commentary on these topics would be interesting to hear. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thanks. -- Daniel Bartholomew Google+ - http://gplus.to/dbart Twitter - http://twitter.com/daniel_bart MariaDB: An Enhanced Drop-in Replacement for MySQL Website - http://mariadb.org Twitter - http://twitter.com/mariadb Google+ - http://gplus.to/mariadb Facebook - http://fb.com/MariaDB.dbms Knowledgebase - http://kb.askmonty.org Monty Program - http://montyprogram.com
