Slimserver didn't get any slimmer by adding MySql, my man.
The devices are slim. The server serves them. It is not a tiny server,
it is a server for slim devices.
You are looking at it from the wrong viewpoint. The devices are simple,
slim and dumb. All the brains are in the server. The server is not slim,
it is feature rich. There is lots of demand for it to get more rich and
powerful, far more than folks wanting the server to be slimer.
It is all open source, if you don't like it, change it and submit patches.
Your subject line in inflamatory and unjustified. MySql is bundled, and
installed invisibly for 99% of the users. For technical folks who want
to use another Sql engine, you can do it.
As a technical person, you have to admit that there is no such thing as
a true sql standard implementation. Every implementation has tradeoffs.
While you can write to a pure SQL spec, all of the vendors improve the
language to make development easier. Once you start to use it, you
become tied into that dialect.
You can have preferences that differ from those chosen by the
developers. You can become a developer. Patches always welcome.
