      Heh, yeah. My personal favorite is when you run BEGIN TRANSACTION; on a table that doesn't support transactions. It fails silently. Sortof makes that ROLLBACK you call several commands later a bit useless.

    So, the Slashdot editor, whose own Web site uses MySQL, is actively trolling other MySQL users in the article summary? Hilarious!

    If they can fix 10 years of criticiscm in one release...

    • Fixed bug causing unhandled exception under Win32
    • Optimized internal table structure for better performance
    • Silenced 10 years of criticism and name calling
    • Win32 installer now creates log file in....

    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~"
