Taking work from open source developer (Donald Becker) and without asking his permission using his work? Would you want a big company like SUN
to do this to you? Make money off your work without asking you??
Its time developers realize that SUN doesn't want to help open source, they wanna help themselves and make money. Even if this is not illegal, it will be bad press for SUN.
Mysql doesn't have referencial constraints. Mysql doesn't have Subqueries. Mysql doesn't have triggers. Mysql doesn't have stored procedures. Their manual has section that explains why "NOT to use foreign keys". Seems to me like they're ignoring SQL standard and will continue to do so in future. As for being "fast", thats only relative. And if you leave out large number of features supported in real SQL implementation than I guess it would be little faster.
A "feature freeze" does not mean that you can not
apply bug fixes.
How exactly did the people at geekpress find out about this? Author was searching for nude pictures of Liv Tyler?
Yes making money part is fine. Just the not asking original developer or giving credits to him somehow is what bothers me.

Oh and how can I forget Views. MySQL doesn't support Views either.
