Well, with over 500 instances of Oracle still hanging around, I don't see the ship changing course too fast, but I can tell which way the winds are blowing.

The new CIO has pretty much stated that from now on, we're going to be going almost exclusively with open source solutions for new systems. mySQL/Perl/Linux/Apache (etc). I figure it's time to start reading.

I've already ordered mySQL by Paul DuBois from New Riders Publishing.
(along with a buch of other stuff) from bookpool. I was wondering what other ones might be good. (BTW - anybody know the release date of Robert Freeman's 10g new features book. Web site said "3/2004")

Matt,
What do you mean by "made the leap from working with Oracle to working with mySQL"?????
are you abandoning the ship? has your ship changed course? has you ship started to sink?
are you getting something pink in the mail? Ron

Matt
