Slimmed Down MySQL Offshoot Drizzle is Built For the Web 370
Incon writes "Builder AU reports that Brian Aker, MySQL's director of architecture, has unveiled Drizzle, a database project aimed at powering websites with massive concurrency as well as trimming superfluous functionality from MySQL. Drizzle will have a micro-kernel architecture with code being removed from the Drizzle core and moved through interfaces into modules. Aker has already selected particular functionality for removal: modes, views, triggers, prepared statements, stored procedures, query cache, data conversion inserts, access control lists and some data types."

Why would anyone in their right mind set up a Web/SQL platform using MS products?
My name is Maximus Decimus^W^WBill Gates, ex-commander of the Armies of Redmond, General of the MS Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Steve Ballmer. Father of a murdered operating system. Husband of a bloated Office Productivity Suite. I shall have my vengeance, in this web or the next.

Giant leap toward the MySQL dream (Score:5, Funny)
Finally, with even views removed, MySQL can move toward its original dream of having *no* features at all -- *no* separation of interface from implementation, *no* referential integrity, *no* bundling of logic with data to ensure data integrity, *no nothing*!
After a period in the wilderness, during which versions 4 and 5 added hated so-called 'features' and 'functionality', we are now finally returning home.
I look forward to Drizzle version 2 in which pesky 'tables', 'columns' and most of all the fancy and pointless 'select' statement are removed.
Seriously, no *views*?
So, what we actually have here is a thin wrapper around InnoDB. If Sun have turned MySQL primarily into a quick-start wrapper for their own product, that's actually pretty clever.

Yep. The reason for Windows support in open source software is so that, come hardware crunch time, you can easily slide the OS out from underneath and triple the performance and look like a star. All OSS must support Windows purely so sysadmins can pull this trick.
