RE: an article comparing Oracle to other databases

I tried MySQL at home... there don't seem to be any user-friendly tools for it. I like user-friendly. <grin>

I am curious about SleepyCat as a replacement for Access, could I use that with OpenOffice I wonder.

i keep hearing that mysql is fast, but have never seen one benchmark. people just assume its true. In what sense? what conditions? Around 400 BC Aristotle stated that heavy objects fall faster than light objects. It wasnt until the 15th century that someone actually tried to test it... they just assumed it was true.
