Thread: Disappointing news
"Hewlett-Packard Co. (NYSE:HPQ - news) will support open-source software companies JBoss and MySQL on its servers as it seeks to compete with International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM - news) in offering Linux (news - web sites)-compatible services, a Linux executive said late Monday." http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=569&ncid=738&e=1&u=/nm/20040601/tc_nm/tech_hewlettpackard_dc Perhaps an advocacy member should persuade them otherwise...

If you have HP serving you, you can press your company. Also one of postgresql supporting companies stepping up would be good as well.. Shridhar
I really would like to know what they are going to do if somebodies´ MySQL-database crashes really hard (eg by CPU failure) and comes back with inconsistent state. Do they agree to be liable for that, because they certified it? Comparing MySQL with DB2 is IMHO quite funny. Like comparing pocket calculators with mainframes. Regards, Frank.

While the sentiment about supporting pgsql friendly vendors is valid, personally, I'd sooner use dbase 3 than give SCO any money.
