Google Apps Engine Gets SQL 66
oker writes "Google has finally added SQL to its cloud platform offering, Apps Engine. Until now, developers had to use the Datastore service, which provides a vendor lock-in threat and isn't supported by most existing software and libraries. The SQL service should definitely improve Apps Engine adoption. It is currently in limited preview mode."

PS MS are hardly known for keeping services going indefinitely [wikipedia.org]. Even when that means essentially a whole bunch of devices. You shills use some pretty bizarre arguments..
From what I've seen, if Google discontinue something, it's because 1) nobody is using it, or 2) they're consolidating the functionality into another product.
