It does appear that MySQL has come along way. We're actually looking

these days ... does anyone still use it in production environments?
I use it for a WO app that I wrote for my sister's business looong
time ago. She uses it on a daily basis and has been
accumulating valuable data for years. I wouldn't qualify the app as
one of those high traffic sites since it's only used by one person
every day.
But I know OpenBase is a very serious database for production use.
And so easy to set up if you and great WO support if you ask me.
Both my web app and OpenBase 10.0.8 are running on a little Mac mini.
Works great. I've used it since the early versions
of OpenBase. It saves me a daily backup of the database on an
external disk, which by the way saved me big time when the hard disk
on the Mac mini died.
And the backup was as simple as specifying where I wanted the backup
to be, what time to make the backup and click OK in the OpenBase
Manager.
It has tools for synchronizing eomodels with your database schema.
But I have not used that since I wrote the app long ago. It also has
some EOQualifier classes for doing IN queries but I've never used any
of that either. Anyways, in my opinion OpenBase works great. And if
your app ever grows and you need a more serious license and want
support then you can buy the license that suits your needs. And I
think OpenBase support has always been excellent.
