Let me tell you something: i use mysql because it’s world’s fastest database and it’s free. I know, some will argue about that, but check the latest benchmarks. It can work in even 10 year old linux pcs with ease. Try that with oracle. It’s lightweight, robust database engine. Try running facebook on oracle. It will crash first minute or cost a fortune for hardware. For me, that’s slow database.

If oracle starts charging 1 cent for it, i’m migrating first minute to postgresql. Oracle can earn a lot just from bussiness support as the Sun did.

I’ve been a little busy in the past couple of months. Sorry.

The blog engine I am using is WordPress with the “Papercut” theme from WooThemes (http://www.woothemes.com/2008/08/papercut/)

hi Mr. Venik, I too have been wondering if you were going to return.

Might I also ask, what blog engine are you using on this blog? It’s a great layout.

Mr. Venik,

Welcome back.

Thought we’d lost you, as your website didn’t show any new posts for a worrisome amount of time.

Always enjoy the commentary and analysis.

Thank you for your work (and insight).

Cheers
