[thelist] SQL Server 2000 or mySQL?

[Michael K. Ahn]

Hehe.  Well... never said CTO's were smart.  ;)  I wonder if we'll ever
hit a corporate malfeasance (sp?) case for negligent CTO's and
"creative" IT practices.  I've seen instances of a lot of wasted money.
Although... not that I should complain.

I didn't mean pennies literally.  Just pennies compared to Microsoft or
some other commercial support.
