Hello,
I would be willing to donate $$$ to the printing of brochures.
Specifically brochures that would point out:
1. MySQL's NON ACID compliance
2. PostgreSQL ACID compliance
3. MySQL license issues
4. PostgreSQL NON License issues
5. PostgreSQL long development history
6. Examples of successful PostgreSQL users
etc...
Sincerely,
Joshua Drake

Alexey, Ian,
There are 2 sorts of people using MySQL:
1) Those who know several RDBMSs and use it only when it is the best
tool for the job (read-only web DB, storing logs, etc)
2) Those who know only MySQL and think that it is the Ultimate Solution
for Everything.
Actually, for Comdex, I'm concerned about:
3) Management who know nothing about technology and are considering
MySQL because MySQL AB has very nice brochures.
This is *very* important becuase no-nothing management types are
frequently in a position to mandate technology choice. MySQL, like
Microsoft before them, have realized that being *perceived* as an
enterprise database is, from a sales perspective, almost as good as
being one.
We will be at the convention with some card tables, some CDs and a
handful of xeroxed brochures. MySQL will have a multi-media booth
with big banners and uniforms. We need some substance to counter the
glitz, and this is a very good start.
That being said, I would like to see Alexey's other points included
in the paper. *particularly* the part about license changes and
MySQL's closed development process.
Where

fit's perfectly.
