here. Given all the FUD spread about MySQL I thought it might be
a good idea to spread the word about all the great things we're
doing to MySQL at Oracle.
#1 We are working on improving modularity in MySQL code
base
In the early days of MySQL the MySQL development had serious
issues with its development model. It was a model designed for a
small code base. I used to work at Ericsson which is developing
telecom switches that have systems with tens of millions lines of
code. Such large systems require modularity. The Ericsson
switches was developed with modularity built into the programming
language already since the 70's. Even with this modularity a
