Now that CA has open sourced Ingres what future do
you guess to Postgresql and MySQL?
Don't missunderstand me, I have been using Postgresql
for more than 3 years and developing apps against it
and all I got is possitive impressions, but comparing
the upcoming 8.0 (7.5) release with Ingres, it looks
that Ingres is much more advanced (clustering,
load-balancing, XML, ...) and the main advantage
Postgresql had in its open source nature looks to be
vanished. More one, CA looks really serious about
Ingres that now is a core tool in more of 100
derivates CA products, and it's said they had doubled
the number of Ingres developers. Also the new version
provides a great compatibility with Oracle and
"easify" Oracle to Ingres port. Is there any OBJETIVE
reason not to change to Ingres?
Thanks in advance for your comments!
