Before I get started I would like to say thank you to everyone that has helped me out. Without all of your support this would not be possible. Again thank you! Now let's make history.... I'm in the process of trying to promote and convince my work to use MySQL as their sole database. This would include two offices potentially. I've had my meeting and it went okay. But I require more details to convince management and MIS manager that MySQL is a worthy product for commercial applications. The information I need I guess is for those only that use MySQL in a commercial environment. I believe my work is nervous still going to MySQL due to the fact that it's OpenSource. I need any information that would prove to them other wise. If you need any more information to answer or provde me with information PLEASE ask. I'm working hard to make MySQL our database at work and I hope I succeed!! I will succeed <G>! Here's the questions.... 1. Number of Database Administrators/Developers to support MySQL and overall number of employees in the company. 2. Size of database (HD space consumption & # of records). 3. Can MySQL Replication be down going two ways (ex. A -> B and B -> A). 4. If you switched from a major commercial database (Oracle, Sybase, MS SQL Server, etc.) to MySQL, why? How did the change affect the number of people working as Database Administrators (increase, decrease, no effect)? 5. Any repercussion since charging over to MySQL? 6. What operating system is MySQL running on? 7. What's the main operating system for your servers and company as a whole? 8. What user end front end/tools are used? 9. What development tools are used to create reports, forms, queries, scripts? 10. How advanced are your forms? What tools did you use to create them? 11. Does MySQL support OLAP (online analytical processing) or similar form of this technology?
