For the detractors: realize that this is the way of the world now.

Say you have two strings that happen to be nuneric:

BAR = "401.0101000"
Since UniBasic is untyped, even though I've wrapped each value in quotes "",
they are treated as numbers. As a result, FOO EQ BAR evaluates to @TRUE.

In fairness, I don't think anyone is trolling. I think it's healthy to
question the technical merits of the platforms you use and compare them to
alternatives.
A community that shouts "go away trolls! we like it here!" whenever someone
asks an uneasy question is probably one I don't belong in.

Hey Dan,
Great response! Thanks for chiming in. Let me address some of your points.
"Cherry-picking individual features from one database to compare them, then
cherry-picking from completely different database when counter-points are
raised is not exactly a technically sound (or fair) way to do

I have to heartily disagree that U2 has a sophisticated business rules
engine. U2 Basic is such a limited language. It barely has functions, and
you have to home brew almost everything.
Microsoft's T-SQL stored procedures are just as horrible to write as U2
Basic programs. As Jeff Atwood put it
ons.

I don't think the flavor of DB is a great indicator of whether you need a
dedicated DBA role. Scale of deployment is probably a far better indicator.

Putting aside the RDMS arguments, (*apart from familiarity*) why wouldn't

David,
You're correct that U2 users need to be vocal about what they want, but
Rocket has to be proactive, too. Surely they have a few analysts on staff
that can read Techmeme or attend a few conferences and see for themselves
where developers are headed. It's probably not wise to only listen to
There's a lot of generalizations being made in that article.
In my experience with MySQL, it's just not as good as other production-grade
SQL alternatives like Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or Oracle. I'd
classify this a MySQL + big data problem before I'd call it a SQL-as-a-whole

Good point, Dan.
Dropbox is such a good service, too. It's a shame that a) they let it
happen (unit tests, man!) and b.) they handled it so poorly PR-wise. On the
bright side, it's not nearly as bad as Citibank or Sony.

Same here. I do all my work on the command line, too. While Kiln has a

Think Dropbox for your code.

You can pass a single filename or directory to hg revert:

Hi Doug,
So you do the conversion from JSON to U2 Dynamic Array *before* you hit the
database layer (i.e., not in UniBasic)? How do you handle JSON strings that
have more depth than sub-values can accommodate?

It's disheartening to hear that the personal addition prohibits UniObjects
connections. Does Rocket really think we're going to avoid paying them by
running production applications on the personal addition? What does this

What's the motivation for stuffing an XML-like data structure into a U2
