All Your Database Are Belong to Us

Listen "All Your Database Are Belong to Us"

Episode Synopsis

Part one of our two part database podcast starts with choosing the RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) and what to do when you run into deficiencies in that particular database system.
First and foremost, what's with the title?!  Are these guys grammatically challenged?  If that was your first thought, then you should check out this link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us
Others who have been around a little while (longer than us three 21 year olds), we hope you got a kick out of the title.
