| http://linuxpr.com/releases/8687.html MySQL AB today announced that the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has selected MySQL as its open source server-side database standard. Founded in 1945 and with more than 3,700 staff members, FAO's mandate is to raise levels of nutrition, improve agricultural productivity, better the lives of rural populations and contribute to the growth of the world economy. Achieving food security for all is at the heart of FAO's efforts. With headquarters in Rome and 74 country offices around the world, FAO provides the kind of behind-the-scenes assistance and sustainable solutions that help people and nations help themselves. Key activities of the FAO include putting information within reach, sharing policy expertise, and bringing knowledge to the field. Over 200 database systems are used to collect, analyze and disseminate knowledge and data that aid development of the member countries. Until now, almost all systems have been based on Oracle, but FAO recognized that the inclusion of open source software solutions could help the Organization better accomplish its mandate and objectives. ................................ **************** ***************************** Kiggundu Mukasa # Computer Network Consultancy### KYM-NET LTD. # Intranets & Internet Solutions# Plot 80 Kanjokya Street P.O.
