| MySQL CEO Marten Mickos Addresses F/OSS Criticism |
|---|
Enterprise Open Source Magazine: We understand you're going to be releasing MySQL 5.0 in a few weeks. What are its highlights?
Marten Mickos: This is our most significant release ever because we have added the all-time most-requested features by our users. We now have stored procedures, triggers and views so that users have the option to embed their business logic in the database. We offer two new pluggable storage engines - archive and federated - that expand our capabilities. We also have new versions of our database migration tool, administrator and query browser.
Of course, before we add any new features, we want to make sure that we can add them without sacrificing MySQL's high performance, reliability and ease of use.
