Slimmed Down MySQL Offshoot Drizzle is Built For the Web
Incon writes "Builder AU reports that Brian Aker, MySQL's director of architecture, has unveiled Drizzle, a database project aimed at powering websites with massive concurrency as well as trimming superfluous functionality from MySQL. Drizzle will have a micro-kernel architecture with code being removed from the Drizzle core and moved through interfaces into modules. Aker has already selected particular functionality for removal: modes, views, triggers, prepared statements, stored procedures, query cache, data conversion inserts, access control lists and some data types."
Fo' shizzle!
A post a day keeps productivity at bay.
Why would anyone in their right mind set up a Web/SQL platform using MS products?
My name is Maximus Decimus^W^WBill Gates, ex-commander of the Armies of Redmond, General of the MS Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Steve Ballmer. Father of a murdered operating system. Husband of a bloated Office Productivity Suite. I shall have my vengeance, in this web or the next.

...reinvented, but with security flaws. Awesome!
Finally, with even views removed, MySQL can move toward its original dream of having *no* features at all -- *no* separation of interface from implementation, *no* referential integrity, *no* bundling of logic with data to ensure data integrity, *no nothing*!
After a period in the wilderness, during which versions 4 and 5 added hated so-called 'features' and 'functionality', we are now finally returning home.
I look forward to Drizzle version 2 in which pesky 'tables', 'columns' and most of all the fancy and pointless 'select' statement are removed.
Seriously, no *views*?
So, what we actually have here is a thin wrapper around InnoDB. If Sun have turned MySQL primarily into a quick-start wrapper for their own product, that's actually pretty clever.
Whence? Hence. Whither? Thither.
That's not how that English guy on House talks.

Dude, we would never say "arse."
I'm just sayin'.
Your humour depreciates? I guess I'll have to check this thread out in a year or two to see if it's still funny.

Because it is reliable, easy to develop, implement and support?
Neah, that can't be it.
Which has the unfortunate side effect of making the application portable across DBMS's.
I'm just sayin'...
I was taught to respect my elders. The trouble is, it's getting harder and harder to find some.
