is MySQL as big as it was just a few years ago? MSFT has basically
made SqlServer a no charge item for small systems. Oracle is doing
well and I guess so is DB2. my sense is MqSQL is "limited" to being
the database used by the millions of small web sites that are running
PHP. Is that accurate?

IBM plans to start selling products from smaller rival MySQL, a
