Don't be so sure.
MySQL, Perl, Apache, PHP are all used for online applications. Does that
make it right? Information Technology has evolved, so too have open sores
applications. And with the advent of AJAX apps, toolkits, and the AJAX
trend, many applications formerly thought of as only for jsp or only for
<gasp> asp are being seriously done in PHP with AJAX. The natural choice
for a lot of this for a db is MySQL. And many of those young folks that
IBM missed and Informix missed are using MySQL quite seriously, with the
same passion found here for Informix. IBM/Informix have lost that
generation,
and will never get it--they don't have the mental horsepower to understand
the LAMP Market, never did, never will. It will be impossible for anyone
here or at IBM to ever get the LAMP market, it just is physically and
mentally
impossible for IBM to get anything outside their box. IBM is populated
with
too many stupid people that are only interested in the status quo.
And of course I challenge any of you at IBM to prove me wrong. You
won't be able to.
