magellan writes "InfoWorld has an article reporting how both IBM and Microsoft are dissing MySQL. While it is understandable from Microsoft, it is interesting that IBM, who often claims to be a defender of Open Source Software, would be so negative. Sun Microsystems and Yahoo are quoted as providing positive opinions on MySQL." On the credit site for MySQL, though, Bingo Foo writes "MySQL has finally answered its detractors who complained about its lack of transactions. A press release today reveals that InnoDB is now fully integrated with the stock MySQL product, allowing ACID-compliant transactions, rollback, and crash recovery. Let the religious wars begin!"

ibm and ms are being politically correct and *not* saying it directly. it's implied they are bad products.

Werd up, my botha! But I have been known, on occasion, to have sex with another man. Actually, it feels quite nice. If you are interested, let me know (email me at slurp_slurp@hotmale.com)

Forget transactions -- you can fake that with LOCKs.

It's amazing how things like these manage to get up to +5 Insightful.

HAHAHAHA!
That's so funny I've completely forgotten about all my positive experiences with MSSQL and about all the features I need that MySQL is lacking.

Hey, I have only ever taken one course in statistics, but the simplest thing I know is that outliers can ruin data.

Take away the single largest source of "bandwidth", one internet site, one mail order company.

Then compare. There is virtually no snail mail based "bandwidth" besides NetFlix. This is just fodder for the people that like pushing numbers around and saying, "Wow, look!"
