Hi Ben,

hi Maciej,

the only arguments you can get in favour of mysql is that

it's free,

Free??? Bollocks.

you're right! It's NOT free. Just for personal use there're no costs.

I program for a small company producing commercial programs. We have found:

MySQL Licence will cost us more than our product price. MySQL sails staff are rude and unfriendly. I contribure to MySQL stuff (in a minor way), and now I am expected to pay as well. Get real!

This is the main reason why I am looking at PostgreSQL at the moment, although I've not looked much at Interbase, any good?

Ok, if you're not making money on what you're working, then you're right! But: Is it the fault of MySQL AB that you sell your work for nothing? I don't understand, why everybody wants anything for free!

Open Source != Freeware

The license of MySQL is very cheep! Look at oracle and you know what I try to explain. Ok, Oracle is an other thing, seems to be for very greath projects, but if you need speed and having a small budget then MySQL is a good choice.

Regards Reiner
