As such, it doesn't come with all of the bells and whistles that others might. You may not need built-in tools like "clustering" when you see the relative cost. For instance, if you have to pay $50,000 to get an Oracle solution to a problem, or could use MySQL and spend $10,000 on in-house programming for that solution, which is better? --- Rodney Broom --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
