Subject: Re: mysql.org (comments to old messages)
Monty:
You started MySQL as a database server derived from msql several years ago,
and,
you made it quick. You made it a bunch of other things, but, what's most
important is that you made it quick. You made it stable. Quick is good.
Stable is better. When both are paired, it's a pure win. This is YOUR
contribution. Your development and any assistance you got from the
community
and crew. Take credit. It's yours. We might have given suggestions, but,
you
wrote the code. We use it. And, we love how it works.
isam, mysam, gemini, bdb, etc., table implementations are meaningless unless
we
know what is behind it.
What's useful to me is that I can start a new application using the same db
engine I've used for 5 years and not have to worry that it's going to
corrupt my
data. I know the interfaces, and, the new features I can use. ISAM is
fine, or
MySAM. I'll program on the front. I love stability.
What is Gemini? And, what will it do for my clients that MySQL hasn't done
for
the past 5 years using ISAM, or MySAM? Put that on the NuSphere.Org site
(whoops; mysql.org site). I don't care. My clients want stability and
speed
and a development community they can trust and who's track record they can
check. They already have it. That's how you, Sinisa, David, and crew
(MySQL
AB) put this stuff together. That's why we all stuck around. Because it's
great stuff and we've built useful, stable, quick applications using it.
And,
you and Sinisa are always here. I don't know how you do it. Perhaps,
because
you know it has a credible future.
I'd hope Progress could see the light.
Best Regards,
Van

PS: Thanks for all support. If anyone thinks I am unfair in any of the
comments above, feel free to write privately to me about this and
I will try to correct myself in future postings. It's quite hard
to keep ones temper in check when one is burning with passion to
defend oneself and the thing one has been part of creating.
