Nuno, you are one the best guys that I have never met, but, in this instance you are wrong. One can buy tech support for MySQL (http://www.mysql.com) and that, precisely, is commercial apeal of MySQL. The MySQL itself is under GPL, just like, say, PostgresSQL, but you can also buy it as a commercial product, with license, tech support, literature and upgrades, the whole 9 yards. That is the reason why a substandard database is spreading like wildfire. -- Mladen Gogala Oracle DBA ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
