Major Changes To MySQL Coming Soon
Meltr writes: "This ZDNET article details some of the coming changes to the MySQL database server. In 4.0, to be released in mid-October: 'support for the Unicode character set, the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol, embedded database links and multitable updates' and in 4.1, to be released in December: 'nested queries and stored procedures'."
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.

"Yes...the former errand boy cum Sr. VP of Linux Promotion and SEC investigation was indeed the one who wrote the business plan that got them funding from Sequoia Cap, the same company that brought you Webvan.com. He promise them hype, and that is what he is good at. With Chris Dibona (last week he was still pushing VA's vaporware..do they still sell anything??) as his henchmen, the 2 basically hired every Linux developer in existence...promised them the moon and then fired them. In addition, they tried to malign and defame other Linux companies because that is how they do business. They even manage to destroy the quaint Silicon Valley Linux Group (SVLUG) into the hype machine that is VA LUG!"
"In the midst of all this, they forgot they needed to make money to pay the pension holders back for the IPO. Instead, JTH cashed 100MM out, without it being listed in Yahoo insider. Dibona bought a fancy new house and car, Larry has cashed $35 MM out, according to Yahoo insiders..."
"Yes, Marc Merlin, SVLUG's current president, even became a doomed VAer...Hall, Dibona and Augustin tried in their glory to create the "VA Linux machine." If you were not with them (and their overhyped IPO scheme to rob pension holders of money) then they would use eveything in their power, including the once neutral Slashdot.org or their fake news site, Newsforge to destroy you. If there is enough interest in this board, I will create a website, with facts to substatiate all statements made here...with even more facts on hypster of Hall, Dibona, & Augustin...please reply to post if you are interested..."
"Linux will never die because the foresight of RMS and Linus but VA must surely. If Linux is to ever win the server, desktop market...heck... the hearts of computer users all around the world, then the people behind the scene must be highly ethical and deserving of success."
"That being said, John T. Hall was fired, and is now hyping another start-up, writing another biz plan for Sequoia Cap, so more pensions can lose money."
