> Wide variety of mature database drivers That requirement was probably not met when they started.

  Does Erlang lack a variety of mature database drivers?

    Compared to something like JDBC et al, Erlang DB drivers are pretty half-baked

    I'm not an Erlang dev, but a quick look at the Erlang docs shows: "If you need to access a relational database such as sqlserver, mysql, postgres, oracle, cybase etc. from your erlang application using the Erlang ODBC interface is a good way to go about it."[0] "It is built on top of Microsofts ODBC interface and therefore requires that you have an ODBC driver to the database that you want to connect to."[0] "But currently it is only regularly tested for sqlserver and postgres."[1] "But currently it is only tested for Solaris, Windows 2000, Windows XP and NT"[2] [0] - http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/odbc/databases.html http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/odbc/databases.html [1] - http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/odbc.html http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/odbc.html [2] - http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/odbc/getting_started.html http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/odbc/getting_started.html
