Oh no...
EVERYONE PREPARE FOR STANDBY, LAUNCHING BACKUP INTERNETS CIRCA BEFORE SUN BOUGHT MYSQL.
If MySQL become priced, I'm gonna cry.

Sorry for the dumb question, but do you need IIS to use SQL Server, or can it work with Apache?

Explain how are you are correlating open source java with the $*,000,000,000 purchase of MySQL? From a business perspective charging for all versions of MySQL would be a great move for Sun. How would it not?Originally Posted by DANIEL2488
Maybe you have not done your homework. I have done it for you:

After reading that, explain why Sun would decide not to charge for the basic MySQL versions? The article clearly shows that MySQL should only be used in small business environments and should NOT be used on the Enterprise level. Sun will need to work on the Enterprise level version to get it up to par. Do you really think they will continue to give the only version recommended for small business use away for free?
Sun will take over and hopefully dominate Microsoft SQL Server. Will they do this by hoping a community of MySQL supporters will make changes and tweak the free code, report bugs, etc... If you think Sun can do it though open source freeware, explain why MySQL could not.
This is why I fear they may dicontinue the Free Version.
Are you recommending that every small business owner in the world migrate to a Microsoft backed product? Wow, never thought I would hear an experienced user recommend that.. ever... Do you have any web based businesses? Any MySQL dependent applications? My guess is NO, becuase that comment is just implausible and rediculous. Do you know the costs to migrate an entire company from MySQL to Microsoft SQL? It would be much cheaper to pay the license fee that Sun would charge to continue using MySQL Server.Originally Posted by DANIEL2488
No offense was taken from your comment. I guess I was ignorant in thinking that people reading this would actually do the research to understand the underlying business effects of the purchase. Sorry for assuming.

Well I mean, it seemed pretty obvious to me. I mean, why would Sun spend a billion dollars to acquire a company and then give away the software (in full) for free? Not much homework to do there.

How many of these apply to you:
*. You have zero experience using MySQL
2. You have zero experience in Server Administration
*. You have zero experience in Security
My guess would be all. If not post your websites. Post your original code.
Please stop posting unorganized, unquoted, false information. You are a MOD, not a regular user.
UNTRUE - MySQL is one of the most widely used database platforms in the world. If all it had going for it was open-source, SUN would not have purchased them for $* billion.Originally Posted by DANIEL2488

Reminds me of [url=http://www.all-nettools.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6254]my thread on Double Dutching in PHP[/url]. I ended up having to make a really wierd video showing the numerous ways "SyntaX****** pwns me"
But, I'm pretty sure by the end of the year this thread (and the bet) will be a mere memory.
