And the problem is not that the credulous will be taken in and that they will suffer. That is merely unfortunate. The problem is that somebody will be fooled and use Prevayler on some inappropriate project which I am later asked to rescue. That's a tragedy. Hence all the attention, I think. It's a strategy of preemptive self-defense.<br /><br />The database vendors aren't scared of things like Prevayler, of course, and they won't say anything about it. So if silent contempt is somehow more convincing to you, there it is.<br /><br />regards,<br /> -- RobertAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833979.post-1104462443492295652004-12-30T21:07:00.000-06:002004-12-30T21:07:00.000-06:00Jeff, perhaps you should see my second blog entry ...Jeff, perhaps you should see my second blog entry on the subject of Prevayler:<br /><br /> http://www.pyrasun.com/mike/mt/archives/2004/12/25/15.02.00/index.html<br /><br />Klaus and other Prevayler advocates get a great deal of criticism because they go out of their way to trumpet their software in many venues, and they make plainly _false_ assertions. <br /><br />You see, it's not that I'm attached to my enterprise database. It's more that Klaus in particular is spraying alot of false information all over the net.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833979.post-1104460851688780232004-12-30T20:40:00.000-06:002004-12-30T20:40:00.000-06:00Gandhi was a humble man. read the prevayler pages,...Gandhi was a humble man. read the prevayler pages, claiming they can replace enterprise persistence mechanisms with this tool is not only far from humbleness, it is ridiculous. What are those sentences of being thousands of faster etc. this is the reaction you deserve. that "guy" (pyrasun) who bashes prevayler is right, and he prooves it by a very detailed code analysis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833979.post-1104290835323831952004-12-28T21:27:00.000-06:002004-12-28T21:27:00.000-06:00That of course was a quote from Gandhi, not Gahdhi...That of course was a quote from Gandhi, not Gahdhi... ;)Jeff Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650645104670573315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833979.post-1104290584425663762004-12-28T21:23:00.000-06:002004-12-28T21:23:00.000-06:00After reading this post, Klaus Wuestefeld (one of ...After reading this post, <A HREF="http://www.blogger.com/r?http%3A%2F%2Fwww.prevayler.org%2Fwiki.jsp%3Ftopic%3DKlausWuestefeld">Klaus Wuestefeld</A> (one of the main guys behind <A HREF="http://www.blogger.com/r?http%3A%2F%2Fwww.prevayler.org%2F">Prevayler</A>) sent me an email in which he quoted Gahdhi as having said the following...<br /><br />"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you,<br />then you win."Jeff Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650645104670573315noreply@blogger.com
