RE: mysql - OT

Mark,

        At one time Great Bridge Software was supporting PostGreSql similar to how Red Hat supports Linux. What happen to them I'm not really sure, but I think the tech bubble may have gotten them. =20

Heh. It points out the there is no official organisation behind PostgreSQL that provides support (apart from third party ones) and doesn't mention MySQL at all, apart from noting it as the "market leader" in Open Source databases.. Which kind of proves the last point within my last email - who are you going to turn to for *real* accountability? ;)

It seems a blatant advertisement for PostgreSQL, not very objective at all..

On a side note, those numbers are interesting - I would never have placed Firebird so high in the "rankings"..=20

Just read an current article I found relevant to this topic of open source databases that points out some of the thoughts shared by others in this thread.
