NEWSGROUPS LINE:
comp.databases.mysql MySQL RDBMS technical discussions.
RATIONALE: comp.databases.mysql
MySQL is a relational database server that is finding increasingly
wide acceptance as a back end solution for developing data-driven web
sites and applications.
There is no dedicated newsgroup for MySQL in the comp.* hierarchy and,
as a result, most of the discussions of MySQL take place in the
comp.lang.php newsgroup. This is unsatisfactory because MySQL is not
in any intrinsic way related to the PHP language, and users of MySQL
who do not use it in conjunction with PHP front ends are unlikely to
know to look for discussions of MySQL there. In addition, discussion
of issues related to MySQL but not to PHP are off-topic for
comp.lang.php. A new group specifically for MySQL would offer a place
where all users of MySQL could participate without risking being
off-topic for the group and where all users of MySQL could easily
discover the group.
CHARTER: comp.databases.mysql
This newsgroup comp.databases.mysql is a forum for technical
discussion of the MySQL relational database management system. All
topics that pertain to using, learning, developing, maintaining or
improving MySQL are on-topic in this newsgroup.
