That's OK. I know that there are a lot of things MySQL does not have
yet, but can you see the vision? Just like Linux will trash NT in amlost
every aspect of comparision, I would like to see MySQL get to that
level. It is Open Source/work together to make it better/share with
everyone vs. develop inside the company to make a big buck. The first
benefits all of us, the second only those who collect profits.

Sure, anybody who is really good with Oracle out there, go ahead, give
