Posted by Zonk on from the dolphin-party dept.

Eh-Wire writes "OnLamp is reporting on the MySQL Users Conference that is currently underway. Among the highlights are the announcement that the code for MySQL 5.0 is now complete. Axmark and Widenius suggest that squashing bugs is the key behind the success of MySQL. Michael Tiemann from Red Hat and the OSI delivered a keynote on "Defining Open Source". He suggests that Microsoft's "shared source license" has been a complete failure at the design level."

    > Microsoft's "shared source license" has been a complete failure at the design level.

    Due to the rising cost of energy, ink, and/or toner, we urge all authors to reduce their word count wherever possible. For instance, the string ('s "shared source license") in the preceding article is redundant and may be eliminated.

    Thank you for your co-operation.

    Among the highlights are the announcement that the code for MySQL 5.0 is now complete.
    So that means we should expect 5.1 to come out next week as planned?

    To sum up parent's comment:

    If you need high availability but not strong data integrity, choose MySQL.

    If you need strong data integrity but not high availability, choose MS SQL Server.
