MySQL to Adopt Solid Storage Engine

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the solid-gone-baby dept.

hmart writes "As seen on ZDNet's Open Source Blog MySQL is taking another step to defend from Oracle's recent acquisitions of InnoBase and Sleepycat. From the article: 'MySQL responds by getting Solid Information Technology, a proprietary database vendor, to take its solidDB Storage Engine for MySQL open source, under the GPL, starting in June.'"

    Well, with a powerful argument like that, I'm convinced. The grandparent must obviously have been lying.

    If you took a look at the BDB source code, you're understand immediately why forking this is not an option unless you happen to have hired the developers.

    No...didn't you see, he said "it's not their customer's fault."

    customer's

    ...is a singular-possessive.

    customers'

    ...is the plural form.

    SCO doesn't have customers. They have a customer.

    I have been using Perl for 5 years. After 1 month with Ruby, I'm not going back.

    That's like saying "i have been eating dogshit for 5 years. After 1 month with steak & eggs, i'm not going back.". Hardly an impressive statement at all.

    You shouldn't not use double negatives, you might not say something that you don't mean.

    Well, according to Google:
    "Eating Dogshit": 1,220
    "Eating Steak & Eggs": 43

    I'd say more people are eating dogshit than eating steak & eggs. Godbless the interweb!
