Liquid Fire Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 That would be the dumbest move if they made drastic changes. They will continue to improve it but it will be nothing to be worries about.

anonymous52090 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Unlikely, if they did it would completely cripple MySQL forever. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/93580-so-will-sun-start-charging-for-mysql/#findComment-479589 Share on other sites More sharing options...
neylitalo Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Personally, I'm of the opinion that MySQL will rapidly go down the tubes from here on out, although they'll maintain the dual-licensing scheme that they've got going on right now. Sun has a nasty habit of exerting too much control over their "open source" projects (see this story), and that makes developers difficult to retain. In any good open-source project, the decision-making usually goes like this: He who writes the code controls the code. But in the case of OpenOffice, Sun ultimately controls the code. I have a feeling that MySQL will go down much the same path. But on the other hand, MySQL was already a corporate entity (MySQL AB) - maybe not much will change? I don't know for sure. All I do know is that I'm sticking with PostgreSQL. It's still Free, and it's still developed by the community - and that has value to me.

Liquid Fire Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I am thinking about trying out postgreSQL to at least fully test my database class in my PHP Framework. I don't think i will change my primary DB from mysql tho because mysql does everything i need(but I am not a high level DBA).

Yeah, I haven't used MySql for anything unless I've had to for a number of years, postgreSQL is a much nicer db IMO.

unsider Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I hope not, but when I become more advanced in my needs, I may look at other DBs, as for now mySQL suits my simple needs Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/93580-so-will-sun-start-charging-for-mysql/#findComment-479714 Share on other sites More sharing options...

neylitalo Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Does PHP interface with it like it does MySQL? Absolutely. On an entirely unrelated note, this is my first post to PHP Freaks using a Dvorak keyboard layout. It's interesting.
