Slashdot Mirror
'Most Important Ever' MySQL Reaches Beta
An anonymous reader writes "The open source database company says it is 'fixing 10 years of critcism in one release', and is aiming at boosting enterprise take-up." Stored procedures. Triggers. Views. It's like it'll be a real DB!
Let me guess, MIESQL? Is this where the browser and database are integrated?
It could be worse, it could be Monday.
What, does it come with data integrity, too?
Store procedures. Triggers. Views. It's like it'll be a real DB!
So, the Slashdot editor, whose own Web site uses MySQL, is actively trolling other MySQL users in the article summary? Hilarious!
Do you like German cars?
Resolved by just switching to the postgres source instead.
How do you copy and paste verbatim from the linked article, but then spell 'criticism' wrong?
Am I the only one sharing a chuckle at the thought of a bunch of typically skilled MySQL users with triggers at their disposal?
I can hear the hard drives grinding now

And pay your $599 SCO license fee, you lazy slack-offs!
I, for one, welcome our new Antichrist overlord.
Or maybe they just hired all those burned-out EA employees.
ex-EA'er: "Can I get 3 whole months to do 10 years of wish lists?"
MySQL management: "Take your time- have 4!"
"WOW....! You're the best boss a guy could hope for!~sniff~"
Uhh, just look a little deeper.
Are you demanding that a Slashdotter actually reads and understand an article before he posts? That he is informed? WTF?
Nobody at Slashdot is ever sarcastic. Ever. Especially me. I've never been sarcastic, and I don't understand sarcasm at all. I can't smile and laugh when someone makes an obvious crack at the fact that the insanely popular web site where his joke will be viewed is run by MySQL. The joke itself is stored in the database he's making fun of. It's a good thing, though, that he wasn't being sarcastic, because people here have a hard time with sarcasm.
That's right, everyone at Slashdot hates and fails to understand sarcasm. Except moderators. Those guys love the stuff. They eat it up and mod funny things "funny" even though the sarcasm they perceive isn't really there, and the comments are just trolls or flamebait.
"the PostgreSQL philosophy is to throw in everything and the kitchen sink and then make it work right, whereas the MySQL approach is to add things one at a time, making sure that everything works right from the beginning"
I guess that's one way to make MySQL's "foreign keys are for wimps" documentation look good: anyone who implements more than MySQL does is just throwing stuff together and worrying about debugging later! Never mind that just about anyone else is more standards compliant; the MySQL team are heroes of stability and everyone else is just trying to add features for marketing.
Nobody really needs that ACID crap anyway, and if you say you do, you're just a poseur...
Make the newest version of MySQL a wrapper for Postgres. :)
Just because it CAN be done, doesn't mean it should!
You know your level of confidence to four significant digits? Impressive!
The truth is an offense, but not a sin.------R. N. Marley
Thats a pretty harsh comment.I think MySQL is useful in a lot of situations. Heck it's even used by Yahoo
Yahoo surely employs "database professionals"?
Yeah, you got it bud. I'm an HTML programmer, and I see this all the time from elietist guys that say HTML isn't a programming language.
Yahoo employs lots of programmers. They use HTML. So surely HTML is a programming language too! Up yours elietist guys!

More like to match the HTML they are not conforming to.
(Just because you are uninformed and don't know what other things are, doesn't make what you are doing 'right' and that they shouldn't be done better.)
It'll be released on Feburary 31st?

Every operating system?
I can safely say I administer several dozens of servers, some of which are pounded on *a lot* (the web servers and one of the internal file servers too). I have NEVER, repeat NEVER had Linux crash on me for 2 years, as long as I've done this.
You, my friend, have crappy hardware. Or choose your kernels very badly.
