MySQL to Get Injection of Google Code
inkslinger77 writes to mention that MySQL has published their software roadmap out through 2009 and it includes an injection of code from Google. Google remains relatively secretive about how their systems work but they are one of the largest users of MySQL. Earlier this year Google signed a Contributor License Agreement which provides a framework for them to contribute code to MySQL. "The search company has done a lot of work customizing MySQL to meet its special needs, which include better database replication, and tools to monitor a high volume of database instances, Axmark said in an interview at MySQL's user conference in Paris. MySQL will include some of those capabilities in future versions of its database, probably in point upgrades to MySQL 6.0, which is scheduled for general availability in late 2008, Axmark said."
If I had mod points I would reveal you for the Troll that you are sir.
Damnit, Google is just like Microsoft. They always have to get their grubby little hands on everyone elses good stuff. Forkit, I'm forking it! :)
I've found that foreign keys are only really useful for incompetent database designers.
As you can plainly see, MySQL works fine without them.
The biggest websites on the internet use it.
