If you're willing to pay for quality, Oracle is an obvious choice. It's fast, it has all the features, there are numerous advanced tools to manage and develop your systems. MySQL is targeted for some needs, to which it answers very well, Postgres has some great strengh for which it has to sacrifice (which is why MySQL choose not to support some features), MSQL has heuh, hum, hmm, oh yes, the micosoft logo of quality and security. And there's Oracle. I don't see what's the dilema. Go for Oracle. With the advanced need you have for your advanced coding, I feel you will rapidly need some other critical features that MySQL lacks. And even if it is within your means to remove all the MySQL's limtations that you will encounter, I think you will get a greater return by developing more great products using Oracle than to waste precious coding time (which would mean less other great products you can make). Also, since your products wil probably be original and appealing, you will end up partner with Oracle on some of your products. Oracle has a great dynamic team (and the best campus) and they will be more willing than work with you in bringing your products to market. Imagine if you made Coolpage (and your other future products like the db/site maker) with an Oracle sponsorship, you will easily be able to sell your site makers to Oracle customers, and you will be able to charge much much much more than to MySQL users, who prefer to use open source software, even if it means more headach. It pains me to advice you against helping MySQL, especially with all you plan to do for it, but the most profitable business model for you would be to dedicate yourself to your products instead of the DB, and then show a beta to Oracle who I am sure will want to partner with you in distributing them. At the end, it woud be much more $$$ in your pocket for less work. Oracle is a powerful company with a great product. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
