It looks like open source technology in general got a real shot in the arm recently. This article make some interesting points about a recent study which found MySQL (an open source DB) superior in quality to comercial products.

All of my servers run MySQL for their database systems, though I think I'll need to be upgrading the one on the primary database box (it runs an old 3.x era one and I need better ANSI features and transaction support).

I don't know very much about MySQL (I just install MySQL dbs and they run, that's all I know...
). But I think it's cool that it holds up so well to the competition...^^ When's the last time you heard about a product having so few known problems to fix? *thinks of Microsoft and winces*

ah, the beauty of using a database. too bad i am forced to use a flatbed database, which sucks in both management and programming, so i should soon get another host that also has MySQL.
i love MySQL

MySQL is the only thing I've used, because since I've got into databases it's been the standard. As a result of this I can't really do any decent comparisons.
Any ideas about what problems these bugs caused? Does it have anything to do with database corruption?
