I was wondering what they are giving people who ask these days for
MaxDB? Does that product exist or is even out there as a BETA yet? All I
have seen so far where some vague statements that it will be based on
some old SAPDB code and maybe pieces of old MySQL technology, but mostly
be new development.

I think a couple press people got fairly confused out there and are
reporting attributes that are planned for some future product as being
available in the current MySQL 4.x product.

Not sure that was intended, but nice marketing job anyway.
