RE: Grid skepticism

Actually, I think Nuno was referring to its clustering/scalability.

But, I concur that he may have been wrong anyway:

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.
