My favorite Pet DB is SQL Server, and the 2008 version is coming out in August YUM.
Oracle is o'tay too. MySql is a toy. Cue mods in 3, 2, 1...
Apparently some of those zealots have modpoints. Does that make you feel like a big man?
An overrated mod is only available because it makes people feel less childish than marking "-1: I disagree with this" or "-1: This offended me".
If you're gonna get pissy, at least mod me down with something meaningful.
Women are like electronics: you don't know how damaged they are until you try to turn them on.
Until MySQL supports the following it is useless to me. This list isn't really that big or unreasonable.
Some form of UPDATE FROM or MERGE INTO. The cheese filled workarounds and self-ref limitations are unacceptable.
Stored procedures (/w plan cache), triggers and foreign keys that all work togeather without having to jump through hoops.
An ODBC driver with a **sane** quoting regime.
Some resembalnce of intelligent behavior in the query optimizer.
