Appears to me, we have the 1st tier companies now doing support for open source. What pray-tell do you think John Q. CEO will think about this stuff now. Real support == NOT ignorable anymore. Drew, you might want to mention this to your PHB. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Give a man a match, he'll be warm for a minute.

Post #157,897 by folkert 5/31/04 8:58:14 PM Reply	That is a personal preference. Just because it is a bad choice for you. Many choose MySQL, with guidance. Many choose MySQL because the other guy is. Many choose MySQL, because they don;t want to be constrained by all the automagicness of Postgres. Or they don;t want all the features PG offers. Just because it is NOT good for you doesn;t mean it is wrong for others. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Give a man a match, he'll be warm for a minute.
