Pretty sure Transparent Gateways works with MySQL... could be wrong.

Googled it. Interesting. Seems like a lot of overhead for the MySQL crowd. I was hoping that XE would offer something built in, but with Oracle (and everyone else), it's all there, but for extra $$

"CERN does use MySQL."Not on a 125 node cluster.

Bad to see an Excellent Technology company like Sun is sold. However, in Business just values are not sufficient but should know a way to make money, which is where I think Sun did not do well. I would think Oracle buying Sun would do well to Java than others. Wish good luck to Sun founders and I am sure Sun would never be forgotten by developersFounder & C.T.O www.tejasoft.com

Apple should have bought Sun. Apple knows marketing, Sun has the engineers. Sun could have been Apple Enterprise.
