Floreant POS Going to Support MySQL

We have eventually decided to add MySQL support in next releases. MySQL is the most popular database for web systems and it should encourage web developers to develop web POS solutions.

Porting or adding options for different database systems is an easier job in Floreant POS as we used a Hibernate-based abstraction layer (DAL). The developers who cannot wait to see should go through the Hibernate tutorial. You may also try with any other database system as long as it has a Java driver available.

This is a significant step forward for the project as it opens up possibilities for web-based integrations and makes it easier for developers familiar with MySQL to contribute to the project.
