Drizzle's Future Moving To Rackspace?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the free-range-coders dept.

  1. It's still basically MySQL. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Sure, the Drizzle crew has made some minor changes, but Drizzle is essentially still MySQL. That means it still has many of MySQL's many, many flaws and thousands of unfixed bugs.

    Their work is interesting and innovative, but they should have built it off of PostgreSQL or even SQLite, rather than MySQL. I'm well aware of the developer connections with MySQL, but that's no reason to continue using what should be a dead project due to its lack of quality.
