[huh]

Ne, ze bych to MariaDB nepral. Ale neni 25M eur trochu hodne?

[Rumburak]

ale to je na rok a pol iba :D

skôr by som povedal málo, keďže ide o strategický projekt EǓ.

The funding round is part of the European Commission Investment Plan for Europe, which aims to revive the European economy after the 2008 crisis. As part of the plan, over the years 2015-2017 more than EUR 300 million has been made available through the EIB's European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) for strategic projects around Europe.

According to the EIB, analysts generally agree that the database market currently is in the midst of a massive shakeup, in which large companies are replacing their proprietary, legacy database systems with modern, open-source alternatives. This disruption provides a huge opportunity to MariaDB, which is currently the fastest growing database management system.

A tobôž po zistení, ktoré reportuje DIGIT (niečo medzi ministerstvo a odobrom ministerstva pre informatiku v Európskej komisii)

Investigative journalists: "Government lock-in by Microsoft is alarming"

For this research project, journalists from Investigate Europe interviewed economists, computer scientists, IT managers, security experts and politicians from twelve European countries, as well as the European Commission and the European Parliament. They conclude that the dependence on Microsoft:

causes costs to rise continuously, and blocks technical progress in government organisations; systematically undermines European procurement and competition laws; gives Microsoft overwhelming political influence, culminating in personal interdependence as well as penetration of schools and universities; and puts government IT systems, together with their citizens' personal information, at high risk both technologically and politically.

A digital colony

In an article in the newspaper Tagesspiegel, one of the investigative journalists addresses several severe problems:

current and former Microsoft lobbyists, managers and consultants are working directly in government ministries at both technical and political levels; at all government levels, EU tender law is often broken to buy proprietary licences; and this vendor deliberately creates a monoculture in the use and teaching of computer software at schools and universities. https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/community/osor/news/investigative-journalists-government-lock-microsoft-alarming

O'Reilly European Open Source Convention - 17-20 October, 2005, Amsterdam

70 percent of the world's open source developers are based in Europe http://conferences.oreillynet.com/eurooscon/coverage/

Takže podľa výkladu EÚ je open source európsky softvér a tak nie je možné, aby bol dohodami medzi americkou firmou a vládami diskriminovaný v Európe, ak nemá byť priamo podporovaný.,

... a co má tohle společného s MySQL MariaDB?

[Harvie.CZ]

jako banka bych asi nasadil spis postgres :)

[mica]

No a EIB tu databázi vedle finanční podpory taky nasadí?

[Josef Kufner]

Spíš jde o to, aby byly alespoň dva použitelné produkty. Vedle MariaDB a Postgresql už toho moc není.

[Michal Kubeček]

Ale je… Jen se bohužel kdysi rozšířilo povědomí, že open source databáze = MySQL a taková všeobecná přesvědční mají neuvěřitelnou trvanlivost.

[Ladislav]

srovnavat Firebird s MariaDB? To byl ted vtip?

[Michal Kubeček]

Proč by to měl být vtip?

[Sid]

Firebird je preverena db co bola preverena v casoch ked mysql bola parodia na db

[Bedňa]

Väčšina backendov rátajú s MySQL, PostgreSQL. Pokiaľ sa to nezmení je zbytočné sa baviť o nejak konkurencií. Chcel by som vidieť admina ako si hraje s databázami pre každú aplikáciu extra.

[little.owl]

Nejak se mi vybavil ten stary vtip:

Three SQL admins walked into a NoSQL bar. A little while later they walked out because they couldn't find a table.

[Prohnutá nudle]
