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.'"

  1. Postgresql is another option by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Offtopic


    If there is a problem with mySql, one could always migrate to Postgresql. Postgresql is well known for its advanced features and its excellent ability to work with large-size dbs.

    you could give postgresql a look-see. Might be your answer.

    I don't know, is it? I don't tend to think of it as such. When I say that, I mean, it makes it easy for me to put references, citations, and equations into my paper. When I am putting together a submission, I can count on a LaTeX submission packet from the conference, and it formats everything correctly with the minimal necessary hassle.

    So, that's where I'm coming from when I say that. To cite that others can't live without it, I'm taking a small survey of the people who surround me (M.Eng and PhD students and postdocs and professors in computer science, heck, I'll even mention that I know a few who use Word instead). Perhaps my sampling is skewed, because, yes, I'm talking about one of those few limited disciplines, but, even then, it's based on my own (admittedly limited) experience.

    I don't wear a LaTeX hat. I don't go to LaTeX conventions. I don't have a bunch of LaTeX merchandise. I don't rant on and on about it in discussion boards (I think that this is the second time I've ever mentioned it on Slashdot (the first being the GP)). I don't tell my friends to all go out and use LaTeX.

    Honestly, I don't think that it fits the profile of fanboyism, rather, that's just an anecdote. You could cite a lot of reasons not to use it, and I'd probably defer to those reasons (it's not WYSIWYG).

  5. LARP by drDugan · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I think LAMP should/will become LARP:

    Linux Apache Ruby PostgreSQL

    in my opinion...
    PostgreSQL is superior to MySQL in amny ways
    Ruby has many advantages over Perl and Python ... I have been using Perl for 5 years. After 1 month with Ruby, I'm not going back.
