Interesting read

Came across this earlier today.

[computerworld.com...]

Among the enhancements to the upcoming MySQL 5.0 ... is support for stored procedures, said Zack Urlocker, vice president of marketing. This feature allows a SQL statement to be stored in the database and called up for use by multiple applications without having to be rewritten.

Urlocker was quick to point out that the company isn't trying to compete directly with either Oracle Corp. or IBM. "Those are very mature products that have all the features you can ever imagine," he said. "Think of those as the Ferraris, while we're providing the Honda database for core functions with extreme reliability at a low cost."

I will be interested to play around with that

we are getting oracle RAC going right now so I have learned quite a bit about clustering recently.
