(I think that he is coming out in a month or so.) But as for Oracle vs MySQL, some better people to ask are [link\|/forums/render/user?username=broomberg\|broomberg], [link\|/forums/render/user?username=slugbug\|slugbug] and the like. Perrin was mainly concerned with the website/programming side. He isn't a DBA, nor does he pretend to be one, so he probably doesn't have strong opinions on that.

There was relatively little reliance on higher-end database functions, and performance was at a premium. The claim was also that transactional integrity was provided through OM itself. \r\n\r\n Then again, I keep my salt-sack open when considering Rob's dictums. I've caught him at several times at really major fibs. E.g.: Linux doesn't do networking at runlevel zero, Molar volume is a (practically) constant number of molecules of gas at constant T & P. Given his background -- graduate biology w/ significant chemistry, and years of Linux programming and admin -- he really should have known these. Worst, he was insistant on being wrong. --\r\n Karsten M.

Post #123,992 by CRConrad 11/4/03 3:03:38 AM Reply	Really? Kewl! First or last? And no, even if it were his given name, I'm not implying he'd have to be named for the character in Jordan's novels -- if nothing else, he'd have to be pretty precocious, as the first in the series appeared in (IIRC) 1989, and the series didn't reach greater fame until around the second or third book, a bit into the '90s.
