MySQL Enterprise support now at Oracle?

2011-03-10 Thread Jim McNeely
Wow! We paid for MySQL enterprise plus enterprise support back in the good old 
days before ORACLE bought MySQL. I just sacrificed the sacred chicken and 
sprinkled the blood around my computer and went to sign up for support at 
support.oracle.com. After wading through the crappy Flash interface and telling 
them my dog's mother's maiden name and all, 3 hours later I got an email saying 
I was Approved. I feel better. 

I read a few of the numerous tutorials on HOW TO USE THEIR HELP THING and I 
still don't understand it. I did a search for MySQL on their site and got 
NOTHING. Have they dropped all support for MySQL? Is there somewhere else we 
should go to pay for one on one support for things like my little join query 
problem? Has anyone else had a good experience with Oracle's MySQL support? 
Maybe this is a bad dream and I'll wake up soon.

Thanks,

Jim McNeely

Shawn Green works for Oracle and has been very helpful, and I am happy to eat a 
little bit of shoe leather!

Thanks Shawn!
