In the meantime, I back the points, that I've already expressed, by Jess and Sean. I'd add that MySQL is not the only FLOSS and reputable database on the market. There's Postgresql too, and thus even if (I repeat if) the EU concerns about MySQL's fate were correct, this wouldn't automatically imply a catastrophic things for FLOSS databases. -- Fabrizio Giudici - Java Architect, Project Manager Tidalwave s.a.s. - "We make Java work.
