MySQL Moves to Prime Time

MagLev writes "MySQL, especially version 5.0, is popping up on the radar screens of database gurus who built their reputations and book sales using other SQL databases. Ken North, who did those ODBC performance benchmarks for Oracle, Sybase, and DB2, wrote a recent article about MySQL 5.0. The article profiles mission critical database software and discusses how well MySQL 5.0 fits the profile. It gives good marks to MySQL, except for Java and XML integration."

Might we see an end -- or at least pause -- in the constant "MySQL sucks"-oriented comments/blog entries/ etc?

Wow. Just... wow.

The past week or so I've been learning PHP and SQL (web tutorials of course, why the fuck would I buy a book on it), and working on my site (which is hosted on my PC, using apache).

Here I thought I've been actually learning something, and growing an appriciation for web developers (and developers in general), but according to you, I'm just a kiddie? Fuck you. It's people like you who drive away "normal" people from actually being interested in things like this. As for mySQL, yes I used it because it was a)free and b)HOLY SHIT BATMAN, easy to use. I may have problems with it sometimes in the way it does things, but for most people, it works.

What possibly could anyone have against MySQL?

I thought everyone was just in love with Java and XML?

MySQL? not mine!

MySQL days are over. Let YourSQL be PostgreSQL. Huh! Sun will choose PostgreSQL

That, sir, is one of the most pathetic attempts at an above-0-scoring first post I have ever seen. Did you get that out of a Learn First Posts in 21 Days textbook?

Chapter 3. Ambiguous Comments
As discussed in the previous chapters, gaining a first post can be a difficult task in itself, let alone scoring something above -1, Offtopic. For this reason, it is often advisable to post something relevant to make sure your first post is visible to all who read the comments. This can lead to several problems, namely having to actually read the arti... er.. I mean, having to type a relevant comment quickly enough to beat another first-poster. For this very reason, we have provided a list of easy to use copy and paste ambiguous comments that will slide past your average moderator. Below is a short list of comments, guaranteed to keep your FP above 0. Write them down, learn them off by heart, and most importantly, keep them in your clipboard or in a notepad window so you're ready to paste and post as soon as your NST (New Story Checker© - Provided on CD) alerts you to a new post.

• The article looks pretty good, I haven't read all of it, but it seems to point out some some good points about the product.
• I am pleasantly surprised at the developments made in this area in the past few years, looks like before we know it we'll have flying cars, flying toasters and Duke Nukem Forever.
• Looks like the server is getting sluggish already, why don't the editors just use coral links instead?
• Oh come on, this is just getting stupid, how many more slashvertisements am I going to see today?
• This story is a duplicate, it was posted around 2 months ago, does anybody have the link?

I'm sure you can think of many more.

In the next chapters we will cover the popular slashdot jokes guaranteed to get you those 5, Funny scores to impress your friends, and the best way to change your signatures to GNAA related text once your posts reach 5.
