  1. More vapourware by sales_worldwide · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Slashdot strikes again. If this was Microsoft, you'd be criticising them for releasing vapouware. But it's MySQL/linux so it's cool huh?

    Get PostgresQL, a real DB. That already has all of these features, and rock solid too, not beta patches etc.
