I'm so glad IBM didn't get SUN. Oh, for the lack of a dime!

It will give lots of people time migrate over to postgreSLQ solution etc. Although I do expect Oracle won't mind being able to keep a cheap good solution around for a while to get a foot in the door and attempt to up sell after they are on the inside. Should be interesting, also worried about Java... oracle doesn't always play nice and that could leave everyone with no cross platform solution. --Kevin ________________________________ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Guillaume Rheault Sent: Monday, April 20, 2009 1:26 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: OT: Oracle buys Sun ** Not directly related to Remedy ARS, but still interesting news: http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9131829 I believe Sun being acquired by Oracle is definitely better than if it was acquired by IBM. On the flip side, this probably means mySQL probably needs to find a new home.... I don't care much about mySQL, although I think it's still a good idea to have a viable open source database available for free -Guillaume _Platinum Sponsor: rmisoluti...@verizon.net ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_ Please visit us at http://www.teletech.com ............................................................
