mySQL rules...

mySQL has redesigned their site, making it easier to find what you want. I still, however, can't determine the date when version 4 will be recommended for use. According to eWeek in this article benchmarking some major database engines (minus Postgres, which is strange), version 4 performed as well as Oracle9i. It's nice to see such an easy to use and open source project doing so well. Also, I read the other day that there's some work going on with the Mozilla crew in order to allow XUL based Mozilla apps to connect to databases (they've already got a Postgres version). Since XUL can be downloaded from a server, anyone using a new mozilla client will have access to the latest version of your application. The possibilities are limitless.

Some work _done_ in order to allow XUL based Mozilla apps to connect to databases. MySQL is lucky this time. You _can_ connect from Mozilla to MySQL right now.

Dmitry, you rock. That's really cool. I really appreciate the fact that you came by to tell me, as well.
