Re: read this and puke

I think you have to give MySQL it's due.
1. It seems to have gotten into a lot of ISPs very early. I first started to
use sql when I had to had some DB driven functions to my companies website.
We where using netware at the time so a real DB server was out of the
question. I wonder how many other people got there first taste of SQL using
MySQL, perl DBI, and or PHP?
2. It works for a lot of things. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
3. There is a company behind it.

What I wish is that some company would get behind PostgreSQL and start
pushing it. It will not be IBM. They have DB2. I thought RedHat was supposed
to be getting into the DB market using Postgres.
