Most MediaWiki installs use MySql by default. Most WordPress installs use MySql by default. Most Joomla installs use MySql by default. And, sadly, almost all FOSS software that requires a back-end database turns to MySql as it's default. There is a lot of government use of said software. MySql isn't going anywhere anytime soon, and based on the fact that Oracle has kept BerkeleyDB alive and well since they bought Sleepycat, I have no reason to believe they'll do anything bad to MySql. That being said, I can only hope for the quick, and painful demise of both MySql and PHP. -- Paul - who is trapped in a company with close to 1 million MySql databases being accessed by really bad PHP code. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
