It does look interesting. As a hobbyist I wish I could justify the $90
- but coincidentally my day job is currently building MySQL
applications on other operating systems. It's fascinating that MySQL
has made it to VMS and is considered a useful component there (too) -
whether one approves of MySQL or not ;-)

As for the 'spam' objection - I'm in two minds on that - strictly
speaking this is an advertisement, and in some contexts clearly
inappropriate; but I think given the very specific relevance to the
audience of this group and the proactive, helpful nature of the product
- I don't see why it cannot be tolerated.
