Re:Everyones ambitious (Score 1)

While I agree that time and effort needs to be devoted to issues involving speed and developing ports to many platforms, I also think that the lack of things like views, stored procedures and, until recently, the lack of transactions has forced people to look at other products when they would have preferred to stick with Mysql. The group I work with has used Mysql for years and are very eager to embrace the support for stored procedures and have no desire to move our applications, many of which are high-traffic and large databases, to another database server.
