Northern Flame Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 if mysql left linux, do you know how many websites would be affected! do you know how many websites would have to alter their scripts to make them run with whatever other database they decide to go with! It would be madness! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neylitalo Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Pre-existing websites would still be able to use whatever version of MySQL happens to be installed on their server, but yes, people would have to start to change their code to work with whatever database software their host decides to switch to. (Database abstraction layers would help with that - something that I recommend you all look into, regardless of the MySQL situation. ADOdb is an excellent choice.) I believe them when they say that they won't be abandoning Linux operating systems any time soon, though. I suspect their entire development process revolves around Linux, and it would require a lot of work to change that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
