This spring I have added some new modules to our system. The old ones are all based on Microsoft SQL Server, but for the new ones we decided to go with MySQL as a part of a strategy of moving to MySQL with the whole system. We decided to use InnoBase as a storage engine and Hibernate for accessing the database from our Java application. No strange decisions, I believe.
The development phase is now over, with no major problems, and the system is up and running. During this autumn we will see how it works, but I'm nit very worried, it seems stable.
Unfortunately the customers strategy is today unclear, so we're stuck in a situation with two databases. Personally, I feel that using MS SQL Server in a Java environment is a questionable approach, since Microsoft is positioning the product as a part of the .net platform. And the 2000 version, which we are currently running, is getting old...
