Google Releases MySQL Enhancements
An anonymous reader noted that "Google has released its internally developed enhancements to MySQL to the open source community this week. Changes include improvements in replication, high availability configuration, and performance." It'll be interesting to see if the changes they made are of interest to other places using MySQL.
Those Googlians are stupid, don't they read slashdot? If they did they'd know MySQL isn't fit for ANYTHING! Sheesh.
I'd argue speed at all. But InnoDB wins hands god-damned fucking down over the drek that is MyISAM. MyISAM is a carcass; whom can deny the Angel of Death? What Shai-hulud has decreed shall be.
InnoDB: When your clients want to run crap that doesn't support Postgres, and you don't want to run myisamchk every other day.
All Hail Google?
No. Remember - Google uses open source but never gives anything back.
My God, it's Full of Source!

(Snicker.) In the building where I work, there are special supply cabinets for nomadic employees who use the flex offices. These have signs on them saying "These supplies are for flexible employees only!" Every time I see one, I want to add an addendum: "Inflexible employees fuck off!"
Because it's a hell of a lot more fun than using a mouse trap and the mouse is just as dead.
Because then they'd have to admit that they're a fancy SQL parser, and most of the real meat is contributed by a company called Oracle (ahem Innobase). That said, InnoDB is a real nice data engine.
What part of fun don't you understand?
