Moving to MySQL

,

It’s time. After years of building this site to work with SQL Server, I sold it to Red Gate Software. Part of that transaction meant that I had to work for Red Gate for a period of time afterwards. I think I’ve done a good job in that time, but I don’t own this site anymore, and can’t compete with it contractually.

So I’m going to do this again in the MySQL world.

It’s an untapped environment, full of developers that don’t know an outer join from an index. Lots of my SQL knowledge will transfer over and I’ve been spending time working with various instances of MySQL here at the ranch.

Look for a new community that brings about the best of this one and translates it for the MySQL crowd as I move on from this position.

If you’re still reading, hopefully you have a calendar handy. April Fools! I love this job and have no intention of leaving for the foreseeable future. Nothing against MySQL, but it doesn’t compare to SQL Server.
