(InfoWorld) - Open-source players MySQL and Open-Xchange are teaming up so Open-Xchange can embed MySQL's database into its Linux-based collaboration server. The two companies announced a partnership and support agreement Thursday to optimize the interaction between MySQL databases and Open-Xchange groupware functions. Open-Xchange customers won't have to pay extra for product support for MySQL, they said. The partnership will result in more choice for customers in the way that they use the Open-Xchange server and can help users cut costs, according to Open-Xchange. MySQL was interested in supporting the integration because an increasing number of companies are choosing open-source collaboration products, like Open-Xchange, instead of proprietary products, the database vendor said. Open-Xchange competes with other open-source collaboration products from ScalixÂ and Zimbra as well as established proprietary software including Microsoft's Exchange and IBM's Notes/Domino. The move is typical of a growing wave of significant partnerships being struck between commercial open-source players designed to simplify the integration of their respective products. For instance, back in June, open-source customer relationship management software vendorÂ SugarCRM announcedÂ a relationship with open-source business intelligence company JasperSoftÂ to allow SugarCRM users to generate reports using the co-developed JasperReports for the SugarCRM reporting engine.

On the Windows Skills blog, there's a new post that talks about the use of a SQLite database (via PHP) to handle the assault that Digg.com can dish out to a popular webiste.   Physical memory was limited and Apache and MySQL soon started to fight for every remaining byte and eventually the page was unavailable. After this experience I started to look for a alternative for the database storage and I found an interesting one: SQLite.   He mentions some of the features the database has including zero-configuration, a simple API, and the portability of having a single database in a single file. The next step was getting it to work with his Apache/PHP5 installation and to run some statistics on it. The results show SQLite pulling ahead of MySQL (INNODB) by a bit and MySQL (MYISAM) by a good bit.
