Subject: Re: New release of MySQL for VMS From: Mark Daniel Date: Sun, 15 Jun 2003 18:55:05 +0930 Newsgroups: comp.os.vms Thanks but no thanks Jean-François. According to a lot of the volume of this forum what is required for VMS specifically, and IT in general, is is more a return to home-spun, right-of-centre, non-commie-ideologue, closed-source software, and definitely less compliance (lest unsavoury foreign ideas take root). Being able to exchange data with non-VMS systems cannot be good (what about all that nasty contagion?). Nice try, but what the VMS jobs market requires is less industry compliance and more niche projects. That's the wave of the future.
