Re: Is MaxDB dead?

Similar question bothered me too. More than a year ago I posted a bug (for MaxDB 7.5) description with a testcase to MaxDB mailing list (I don't know how I can submit it right into problem tracker). The bug looked pretty severe to me because it was returning wrong query results. Recently I tested latest version of 7.6 and the bug was still there. I repeated the post into mailing list, but still don't have any clue if anyone wants to even look at it. So I was also doubting if any serious work on MaxDB is still going on. After some initial buzz of SAPDB going under My SQL umbrella, most major projects were either abandoned (MySQL proxy) or delayed (Synchronization). Now it takes considerable effort even to find MaxDB pages on MySQL web site, the newest marketing MaxDB info it 1.5 years old, no roadmaps, no future plans, no MaxDB advocacy... Yes, from outside the feeling is that traces of MaxDB live are becoming pretty subtle. I would be glad to know that this impression is wrong, because MaxDB is very quality server in my opinion.

Regards.

I think the problem is here not, that the development is not progressing (I
can tell you it *IS*) but the issue seems to be more, that the webpts is no
more updated, for whatever reason...

I have seen times when no bugs at all have been displayed or the site was
pretty unresponsive.
