HP expands open-source support (News.com)HP expands open-source support (News.com)Posted Jun 1, 2004 1:26 UTC (Tue) by apolinsky (subscriber, #19556)Parent article: HP expands open-source support (News.com) We use all major databases at work, Oracle, DB2, Informix and Sql Server. I, for one have found Mysql to meet many of the needs of a database. It is fast and reliable. Too often, we harp on the weaknesses of a product, as opposed to the strengths. Mysql handles many web based tasks wonderfully. Perhaps you don't want it to handle a 12 billion accounting system, but properly designed, in fact you might.
