Well, let's just say that MySQL is being used by a lot of
Unix/Linx/Apache techhead types, and, as a small db, they seem to be
enthusiastic about it. These are people who know IT very well, I
respect their opinions, and I don't think they suffer trash SW lightly.
But the opinion of the average Word user, I value very little. A couple
of my employees designed solutions with MySQL (rather small) and it all
went just fine. I can't think of any other way to make an initial
decision about a product.....we did a lot of web research on MySQL and
did not find a lot of "MySQL sucks!" stuff. We went to the techie
newsgroups and asked around. It's hard to figure out if SW is any good
or not.......
