What is Holding SAP-DB Back? · Slashdot Mirror

Posted by Cliff on Monday August 5, 2002 @01:30AM from the yet-another-RDBMS-question dept.

Derek Neighbors queries: "The current story about MySQL 4.0 has erupted into a Postgres vs. MySQL debate. We at GNU Enterprise, who have used about all Free and Propietary databases, would like to know why exactly people arent using SAP-DB? It clearly is on par with Oracle, is GPL and frankly has an awesome support team in SAP AG. There was a PG vs SAP-DB recently. Someone else mentioned that you can get CDROMs for free. So again the question is 'What exactly is hindering a wider acceptance of SAP-DB in Free/Open Software projects?'"

Yeah. There's this hack of a playwright that goes by the name "William Shakespeare". You can download his shit for free online, but everyone knows it's crap because it's free.
