Slimmed Down MySQL Offshoot Drizzle is Built For the Web

Posted by timothy on from the now-it-can-be-told dept.

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."

      In other news, PostgreSQL releases sprinkle, SQLite releases Rivulet while Oracle defies all conventions and releases Hailstorm.

      Microsoft, of course, was busy "revolutionizing" the look-n-feel of MS Access.

    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.
