  Stupid question, but what does MySQL bring to the equation?

 MySQL brings to the table an impressive AI interface that knows what you
 really meant to do and thus does away with those pesky error messages.

 After all, who wants to be told that -00-00 is not a date, or that
 you tried to insert a value of 7 into a SMALLINT column?


LOL, this is the single greatest reason I stopped using mysql for my
own stuff. I like the user management aspect better, in that each user
only sees their own databases, but that's a small annoyance (a little
psql -l | grep user largely solves that) Whoever decided that
silently truncating values and other similar things was a good idea
should be shot. Never ever ever ever ever silently do anything that
changes data you stupid bitch of a database. Either accept the data as
is or reject it and throw an error and make me do the change myself so
at least I can control it.

 choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
 match
 
 

 Go the installation directory and try
 #make uninstall  -   if it doesn't work then do the following

 # make clean
 # make dist clean

I think he wants to know how to uninstall the files that were
installed with 'make install', not the source directory.

Nevermind, wow I'm tired, should read the entire email and not just
