Thread: MySQL development MUST immdediately cease - Due to GlobalEconomic condition..

This is a immediate order to COMPLETELY STOP and CEASE all development
of MySQL database server.
This is due to rapid changes in the Global Economic conditions..

You do not have time to deal with one powerful SQL server like
PostgreSQL, where do you have time to
deal with two types of SQL servers. Question is why have two??

There is no time to deal with two open source SQL servers. After doing
research, it is recommended
that you stick with just PostgreSQL. With huge amount of efforts MySQL
can be brought closer to PostgreSQL
level (and perhaps it may NEVER be possible to bring MySQL to the level
of technology of PostgreSQL). Even
if it is done it will be a  waste of time..

The WORLD economy started taking nose dive for the last 2 years.
Last year a mild global economic recession  started which forced
thousands of companies world-wide closing down.
Last year millions of dot-com went bust.

It is predicted that there is a impending "World-War-III" like situation
is developing in the middle-east and Afghanistan
which may have significant effect in Asian and European countries.
But that may NOT have lot of economic effects on North/South American
countries like Brazil, USA, Canada, Mexico..

Nevertheless, overall economy of the globe will get the impact.

And, hence drop off the MySQL now and migrate all your data to
PostgreSQL..

By the way, PostgreSQL runs on all platforms - All unixes, linux, Apple
Macintosh and MS Windows 98/NT/2000

Quick question... Am I the only person getting
rather annoyed by these messages that have
started coming through recently?  Once was
okay, but this is getting rediculous.

Dear Peace Flower,

Would you mind me asking a question? Why do you post this
kind of stuff here? Just to make everyone smile in here?
Well, if so it's good thing when everyone smiles, but
a joke repeated more than once is, I'm sorry, stupidity.
If you're trying to promote PostgreSQL, then it's not
quite right place to promote it. If bring down MySQL is
your intention, it's not the right place either. You seem to have
good pursuing and promotional writing skills, so why don't
you employ them in some article and post it somewhere in the news?
Then you can post a link here to the article if it gets published,
and you will get adequate critics from various sources. Maybe you
will get paid even. Just think of it.

Peaceful and flowerful regards,
Serguei

PS: I'm sorry for the off-topic post.

I agree. 
This mailing list is not a forum to express 
aversions to other software products, 
no matter how justified these aversions are. 

To whoever sent this posting (being Al Dev, or someone spoofing),

Please stop posting to the PostgreSQL mailing lists.

You are not helping PostgreSQL with your postings, instead you are
inciting anger and hostility.

Cease and desist these postings immediately.
