My new buzz-meme (pass it along)... "You're still using MySQL... that's sooooo 90's!" :-) Seriously, the space occupied by MySQL has been encroached by SQLite from the low end (if you just want SQL access to a data file, including transactions) and PostgreSQL from the high end (when you want a full-featured database). I think they've completely overlapped at this point (especially when I just discovered yesterday that you can register Perl callbacks for user-defined functions and aggregates in DBD::SQLite!), so MySQL really doesn't have much of a win at either end. -- Randal L.
