Drizzle makes MySQL lean, mean again
,----[ Quote ]
| Bye-bye to 600,000 lines of code
|
| Drizzle is tackling these issues head-on. The developers have a very clear
| plan: reworking the whole code base to eliminate the unnecessary and
| poorly-implemented features that have built up over the years. They've
| trimmed the code to less than half, removing some 600,000 lines of code.
|
| This is no bedroom coding project
|
| Perhaps just as importantly, they've adopted the GPL as the one-and-only
| licence for Drizzle, cutting the dual-licencing that kept MySQL's development
| in-house. While some MySQL developers are working on Drizzle, they're joined
| by developers from such prominent MySQL users as Google, Canonical, Six
| Apart, and even MySQL's new parent company, Sun.
