well how do you, I...we know that's all what Oracle Corp intends ? Keep in mind their current alliance with the PHP people and bought Innobase

heheh sounds like HJR..yes 100% agree

"we" ? Oracle will do whatever it sees fit regardless of what "we" think, lol

So that goes back to my head-scratching.... Oracle allianced with php and bought Innobase...basically embraces the open-s community.
Which leads me to think it wants to offer "those other" developers (the ones we fear)
an alternative to their beloved MySQL.... so then what is the logic with this single-install-per-server limitation ? <head-scratching> Received on Mon Nov 07 2005 - 13:13:25 CST
