RE: Impact of Free ORACLE
Ok, Ok, KIDZ, I get it. I had just heard from a rather reliable pair of sources that the oracle system was free, so I thought I'd ask you cats if you had any thoughts Now I get endless buillshit sarcasm, instead of the simple 1 or 2 people pointing out that I'm wrong. The rest of you guys who thought you were being original by giving me shit as if we were on slashdot need to realize there's no call for all that. I was trying to find out more about how everyone felt. I still run MySQL on my servers, and while I was interested in how Oracle works, I wasn't about to switch, so don't feel like you need to be questioning my geekiness, nor my interest in free software or open source. End fucking rant, have a nice day.

RE: Impact of Free ORACLE
Here's a couple I've dug up: http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/020117/sfth035_1.html http://www.devx.com/judgingjava/articles/javaone/report2.asp (Flat out SAYS ORACLE IS FREE!) And of course, let's not forget http://www.oracle.com (Just go to downloads, register your info and try downloading ANYTHING) I PROMISE YOU, oh non believers, that you'll believe me after you read those articles, and then try downloading 9i from Oracle. You don't even have to download it, just start it and watch it go!

Impact of Free ORACLE
Just curious what everyone thinks the impact on MySQL will be now that Oracle is free? - 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?

Getting a text field in a table....
Stupid newbie question, but why in the hell can't I get this damned TEXT column added? I've specified it as size 254 and cannot get it to work Someone please give me an example of a working create table statement with a TEXT or LONGTEXT column? I've read through my book (MySQL) and checked the documentation, but no working examples, just the standard stuff..
