    Who would realy use an RDBMS that is Java based. Java is slow, and I don't care who says it isn't. Any virtual machine is going to make the product take some kind of hit when it goes from the bytecode to actual instructions.

    I'll stick to my compiled code for my architecture. That is the beauty of FOSS.
