Thread: Another news story in need of 'enlightenment'
This one probably needs the 'iron hand and the velvet paw' touch. The iron hand to pound some sense into the author, and the velvet paw to make him like having sense pounded into him. Title of article is 'Open Source Databases Won't Fly' -- http://www.dqindia.com/content/enterprise/datawatch/101041201.asp He seems to be ok on some things, though. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11

It's content-free, just a his frightened opinions. The only thing that will change his mind is the improvements planned for releases 7.2 and 7.3, and lots of deployments. Few will read his rambling.

The article was rambling and undirected. Completely apart from any content, this just seemed like a badly written article. I'm not sure that it even merits consideration in this forum. I guess anyone can be published on the net. -- D'Arcy J.M.
