This is just silly. Of course MySQL can be trusted in an ERP system or whatever TLA rings your buzz word bell. The company is solid and the product is good.
As a matter of fact, I recall that SAP had their own official database (SAPDB) before, but it was acquired by MySQL and is now part of their product line. It doesn't get much more trustworthy than that.

Oracle Isn't a Linux Company (Motley Fool) Posted Oct 19, 2006 12:01 UTC (Thu) by peace (guest, #10016) [Link] You mean this ( http://www.sapdb.org/ ) SAPDB? It's been open source for a very long time and has nothing to do with MySQL's viability as a replacement for Oracle. SAPDB was used by SAP for demos and training and such. Anyone who actually deployed SAP did it on Oracle.
Where have you actually seen an ERP deployment that uses MySQL? I'd be curious. And I mean the likes of PeopleSoft and SAP, not SugarCRM.
I doubt you really think that you "can't get more trustworthy" than MySQL.
Kind Regards
Oracle Isn't a Linux Company (Motley Fool) Posted Oct 19, 2006 22:42 UTC (Thu) by drag (subscriber, #31333) [Link] With MySQL it's called MaxDB and it's SAP-certified with the SAP application suite, whatever that means.
So if you want to look for references for people using MySQL with the SapDB stuff look for 'MaxDB'.
I don't think that MySQL is realy pushing it though. I've heard that SapDB's code was more then a bit of a mess. Brings to mind the status of Netscape's code base when Mozilla aquired it.
They have that pluggable data storage engine thing that they seem to be focusing on. The idea is that you can more easily select what sort of features you want with MySQL.. Weither you want it to be done with SolidDB (Solid does commercial versions for carrier-grade RDBMS for communications industry and GPL'd their engine with the partnership of MySQL) vs InnoDB vs BDB vs the default MyISAM vs the up and coming 'FALCON' they've developed from their purchase of Jim Starkey's Netfrastructure company. Maybe they will port MaxDB to this. I don't know.
It'll be interesting to see what is going to happen to MySQL in next 3 years or so.
Oracle Isn't a Linux Company (Motley Fool) Posted Oct 20, 2006 15:37 UTC (Fri) by peace (guest, #10016) [Link] MaxDB /is/ SAPDB, so of course it's "SAP certified". It's a shell game that MySQL is playing, "pick the enterprise ready DB", but it is not MySQL.
Kind Regards
