Hi,

When someone mentions a DBMS such as MySQL in this newsgroup in connection with
implementing something non-trivial, it is often dismissed out of hand (search
the group history if you need examples).

I would agree that ORACLE is the undisputed market leader, but I don't think
that we need to consider everything else as a plaything.

I have the impression that in this NG, the "default DBMS" is not
Oracle, but DB2. Probably because it's SQL is closest to ANSI.
