RE: MySQL vs. Oracle database

SAP is a huge app with tons of transactions and data. That SAP has developed an open source ANSI SQL database and runs 1000 customers on it is pretty impressive... something to keep an eye on.

Adabas eh?

Oh well, I knew it was a clone of something I didn't care to work with.

( OK all you Adabas lovers, all mail with Adabas in it is now going to /dev/null ;)

this is from the users' manual:

"Development of the independent SAP DB software was begun in 1997 on the basis of the
ADABAS D software."

also if u search for "SAP DB History" on google and get a cached copy of the
same history page u'll see more details:

"Installed ADABAS D customer base gets serviced by SAP AG "
"SAP AG resells ADABAS D under the name "SAP DB" "
"Fork of the ADABAS D code base "

seems someone is ashamed to mention ADABAS...
