Well
Ross, Our campus is out in the country (just about everywhere in Montana is
out in the country) and we are, indeed, surrounded by docile ruminants. I'd
like to say that during our off-time we go out and gaze lovingly at their
udders, but there are other things we prefer to gaze at
lovingly.

Of
course, we have no problems doing online dairy backups around here.

<SPAN

We
use MySQL here and yes it's tunable. There's even word out on the street that
soon MySQL may support the concept of a transaction. What a
concept.
<SPAN

<SPAN
class=729564917-28022001>MySQL has its place, but it's causing us no end of
pain here. It doesn't scale well enough to support what we're doing. That's
why we're painfully biting the bullet and paying the big bucks for
Oracle.

Walt, you have just shattered my picture of you as a gentle
man surrounded by docile ruminants, never uddering a
discouraging word.
Yes, it's amazing, the price of the software. My line to
folks is: "For your money, Oracle is the best
database...if it were my money, it would be almost
anything but.."
MySQL *is* tunable.....could be fun....

Say, is it just me or has the cost of the Updates
Subscription Service gone up considerably in the
past six months or so?
We're currently pricing out what it'll cost us to purchase
8.1.7 Standard Edition and the numbers we're getting
are a heck of a lot higher than they were in
November.
Has the cost of CD-ROM's gone up that much? Is the economy
now in an inflationary period? Where's Allen
Greenspan when you need him?
Whatever happened to those hazy, golden, halcyon days when
upgrades were included in product support?
Sometimes, Oracle just sucks. I'm seriously considering
getting on track for a MySQL
certification. :>)
