MySQL and SAPMySQL and SAPPosted May 29, 2003 9:45 UTC (Thu) by leandro (subscriber, #1460)Parent article: MySQL and SAP The big question is, which side will technically predominate? Just like Compaq and Digital, this is a big question. In the older case, the Digital side initially got the technical upper hand, giving hopes to its users; later the Compaq side predominated as suits went the easier route to liquidation and the HP merger. The paralel should be obvious: while none side in this merger can claim to be relational, MySQL isn't even a proper SQL, and barely a DBMS at all. Not only that, its main architects have repeatedly shown they don't grok data, but only programming. So while one can't hope too much, given that SAPdb is only a SQL DBMSs trying to catch up with Oracle -- that is, they try to catch up with something that is not even up to SQL standards, much less relational ones --, yet SAPdb is clearly a full-featured DBMS. One would hope the MySQL people would concentrate in community relations and leave the technical stuff to SAP.
