Novell to Ship MySQL With NetWare 6

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the bundling-up-for-the-winter dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Coming close on the heels of their announcement that they've ported PostgreSQL to NetWare, Novell announced today that they will begin shipping MySQL with NetWare 6. Owing to customer and partner doubts about the GPL, Novell has chosen the commercial version of MySQL, rather than the GPL'ed version."

    Well, I stand up next to a mountain,
    I chop it down with the edge of my hand.
    Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island,
    Might even raise just a little sand.
    'Cause I'm a voodoo chile,
    Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile, baby.

    I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time,
    I'll give it right back to you one of these days.

    And if I don't meet you no more in this world
    Then I'll, I'll meet you in the next one and don't be late, don't be late.
    'Cause I'm a voodoo chile, voodoo chile,
    Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile, hey hey hey...

    I'm a voodoo chile, baby.
    And I don't take no for an answer..."

    guys, there is more to life than *nix.
    look at the acl (file rights)system.
    it's THE most advanced in the industry.
    i pity *nix and their little group/user rights system. no ldap directory comes close in performance, reliability and management.
    try edirectory (even the oldest nds) and then openldap. then you'll know how far ahead it is.
    netware rocks! problem is, it started as file and print, no applications. Things are starting to change only now. They ported standard c libraries and have strong java support. that's why open source is welcome on netware. btw; mysql will be available on gpl base from the mysql site. postgresql is still being ported.
