Ahaaaa...:)...so, now o lot of things began to be jointly....i agree. MySQL don't have implemented such a *powerful tool*(ad-literam copy words, from Ingres website). > > I made no claim that these other tools "think" or "design"; they simply You understand me wrong...it's was like example to be obvious the difference between, concepts and technologies(or "tools", if i can said in this way) > have extra functionality which implements distribution ...i guess that you wish to said : "functionality which are permissive for implementing the distribution". Functionality, which must be able to manage two/more tables on the heterogeneous network environment.With this capabilites it's more easy to implement the distribution.Quite true. >-- which is what the original poster was asking about.

Yes.It seems that we begin to "talk" about the same things.And now "become" the correct answer: MYSQL CAN BE USED IN THE DISTRIBUTED ENVIRONMENT SYSTEMS. > > MySQL is a fine RDBMS; it simply does not implement distribution in its engine. >By claiming that it does, you do a disservice to other RDBMSs > which *do*, and to people looking for such a solution. This is not was my intention.The result of this kind of discussions, always should go to some things which must be more clearly.Every project leader,manager...whatever...must be able to make out the correct decision, depend on his needs pertain to his knowledge,experince. > > Bruce Feist Regards, Gelu > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
