mahesh2k 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2010 By the way when we're going to get updated version of mysql on our Cpanel. I'm noticing this lately that many softwares in asta/Xisto - Web Hosting seems to be outdated. I would love to test this new version if it becomes available online with phpmyadmin. Looking at the way, mysql is maintained by oracle. Is it worth moving away from it ? to something like postgreSQL or any other sql ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mahesh2k 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2010 Yes, because i see there are many developers branching out from their free source community. they're planning about foundation and are thinking to pull almost entire community there. But question remains as how they're going solve issues of money and organization. I'm sure oracle will lure few to keep project going but even if they create new foundation what are chances of that software remaining alive. After delicious, java and many other software getting sold or shut down made me wonder about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mahesh2k 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2010 I don't know how much oracle will put effort into mysql anymore. I mean how much this release took for public stable ? i guess more than 6 months, which is not good sign. Java still looks the same, nothing much improved AFAIK, only more support added to JavaFX.
