The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Mark Sallee <address@concealed>]

Peter,
We have used both MySQL and Oracle to query subscriber lists, and have
had some occasional problems with the Oracle queries hanging the sympa
server. Some of this may just be due to not having a full time Oracle
DBA over the last year and just getting by.  If I could go back and
start over, I would probably stay with MySQL for the database for the
best reliability with sympa.
