Slashdot Mirror

ERP, CRM, and HR application suites such as PeopleSoft, Oracle, SAP, and JD Edwards sell are one of the major drivers of those "high-end" features you so casually handwave away.

I never said your needs or anyone else's needs didn't exist, only that they don't exist to the exclusion of everything else.

Things like the supply chain management system for GM, account management for Bank of America, or even the student record system for UCB have very little tolerance for downtime or record corruption.

One of the very points I was making was that while MySQL may not have all the high-end features, it's stable. You will find that reports of data corruption or downtime are extremely rare for MySQL.

Go ahead and try implementing a major business application for a global 1000 company on MySQL, but please let us know who was stupid enough to do this so we can short their stock.

Um. Okay. How about NASA? Or Yahoo! Finance? Or the U.S. Census Bureau? If you don't think those are "good enough" then I have dozens more I can keep posting. Lots of companies use MySQL, and Slashdot certainly shows that MySQL can keep up with the "Slashdot effect" (since Slashdot itself is using MySQL).

Before you go spouting off about how MySQL is just as good as Oracle or DB2 next time please learn something about transaction processing and real back-end enterprise applications.

Again, I never said this.

I believe that MySQL was the best software out there. It holds all my information including my address book, personal finance, mp3 list, and much much more. Of course I don't trust it cause it sucks big asshole. Talk about major dataloss. Fuckers.

Now please stop trolling me. Thank you.

An interesting side note: the MySQL people "stole" (Rasmus Lerdorf's words, not mine) php.net's webmaster. For a long time now, I've gotten very used to typing things like php.net/mysql_pconnect in the location bar of my browser and getting redirected to the right page in the online docs. MySQL's new webmaster brought that feature with him, so you can do things like mysql.com/select and get answers fast. (If you want to do this on your site, it's actually fairly simple. Check out lerdorf.com/tips.pdf. Look midway through for a slide on the $PATH_INFO environment variable.)

The web sites obviate both books for all but beginners, IMO.
