solidDB for MySQL
Rachel Chalmers, April 17, 2006 @ 3:54 pm ETI like the new product Solid Information Technology announced today – a combination of Solid transactional software with MySQL Server. For MySQL AB, it’s a useful and timely countermeasure against the double threat of Oracle-Innobase and Oracle-Sleepycat. And it’s just in time for the MySQL user conference in Santa Clara next week.

The MySQL event looks as if it will be interesting. It looks like there will be three plug-in transactional storage engines for the database on display: Innobase (contract recently renewed by new owners Oracle); the Solid engine mentioned here; and a brand new one built by Jim Starkey, who came to MySQL with the January acquisition of his startup Netfrastructure. Starkey is best known for his creation of InterBase and its more recent incarnation, Firebird.
hello there,
i am trying to reproduce a data server that a company uses to present information to its customers via the web. No problem. What they are using right now is Microsoft Access, connecting via ODBC to a server on line. The cool thing that they can do is have several tables linked together. Like if a certain field is updated in one table, it updates the same info automatically in another table. So, i want to reproduce this in MySQL, but i can’t seem to find out how. Is there a way to pull this off on the server side ? or does that have to be done on the client side ?
thanks for any tips.
Hi Jeff – I wish I could help you. Have you tried the links for community support on MySQL’s web site?
