Oracle makes move to kill open source MySQL

Apologies, I did misunderstand.

I cut a bunch of apps (and their large databases) over from MySQL to Postgres several years ago. It was tedious, but I've never had cause to regret it in any way.

When MySQL became Oracle I was very relieved to not have to think about the implications.

Well, personally, my favourite database is SQLite.

I don't build large apps, although for many-read-few-write-type sites SQLite isn't so bad.

SQLite is awesome too. I use it whenever I can.

I personally like its simplicity, like the fact it's a single file and no messy authentication to deal with, and the simple data type set.

And also the docs are much more readable to me than for MySQL.
