Dear All,

I know that "blame MySQL" is a stereotype and somewhat unhelpful advice. 

I also know, that a complete failover second location would make the point
somewhat irrelevant, and may be the "sort of final" solution.

But I'm wondering whether Firebird SQL would be a replacement candidate.
Firebird is supposed to be free of the problem, they are discussing the
Wikipedia blackout, and they are also discussing the low visibility of
Firebird and things to improve it. Perhaps to the point, where Firebird
developers would be willing to contribute to integration efforts and add
features and fine-tuning to Firebird SQL?

Regards,
Peter Jacobi
