  1. MySQL has been, and always will be sub standard. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Please. Now we're up to version five, and have finally implemented the features that *nothing* past a pre1.0 beta should be without. Its almost humorous how much usage this extended file manager has gotten in past years.

    Fortunately for everyone though, Oracle has just announced [oracle.com that they are open sourcing their famous database platform. Long live free software.
