Comments on: Microsoft, MySQL and the skewed WAMP http://blogs.mysql.com/kaj/2007/07/28/microsoft-mysql-and-the-skewed-wamp/ MySQL, FOSS, Sun and Community plus a dash of running and mountaineering Sun, 12 Oct 2008 13:14:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Arjen Lentz http://blogs.mysql.com/kaj/2007/07/28/microsoft-mysql-and-the-skewed-wamp/#comment-17953 Arjen Lentz Sun, 29 Jul 2007 12:08:32 +0000 http://www.planetmysql.org/kaj/?p=122#comment-17953 Why not discuss here - it's about the "open", right? Private emails are merely a feedback channel and only allow for private communication. While useful in themselves, they do not advance community participation which is a true exchange among players in the community (where MySQL AB is one such player). Let's address your first point front on: Important technical WAMP fruits are fairly low on the tree, in fact they whack you in the face any time you try to walk along. For example, the reason that the MyISAM engine is slower (some sources say up to 30%) on Windows is that it uses the wrong Windows API functions. InnoDB, which uses the proper file I/O methods, has no such performance problem. Go on, pick this fruit today. Action speaks louder than words. Why not discuss here - it’s about the “open”, right?
