Re[2]: MySQL vs. Oracle database
Knowing what I do about SAP support I'd not want to get into a project with
SAPDB! Those good German engineers would chew your head off when calling tech
support. Whatever caused the error MUST be your fault!

SAP official history is at http://www.sapdb.org/history.htm
Amusingly, they have blanked out what SAPDB was originally called. Of
personal interest to me is the Cincom connection in that I worked with their
software for much of the 80's...

Re: Re[2]: MySQL vs. Oracle database
Plus, I had some experience with a Supra-ized Cincom database. It was a
nightmare. We wound up reverting to their more primitive (but stable)
database - Total. There was a newer pass at Supra in the early '90s that
was supposed to turn a Total database into a relational database and this
looked promising...but I moved on to the Oracle world...

Re[2]: MySQL vs. Oracle database
Gene, Nope, dead on! Dick Goulet Reply Separator Author: Gurelei [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 4/17/2002 9:49 AM Alex, Just wondering why do you think MySQL is closer to Access than to Oracle. I have played with MySQL a little and it is a relational database like Oracle (not sure if access is one), uses a SQL, can have logging and archiving just like Oracle. Again I'm not sure whether access have all this. To me, if Oracle is a BMW and MySQL is a Chevy (as someone else compared), access would be a horse cart at best. Am I wrong?
