Why are you worried re the future of MySQL and it's new owners Oracle. a) MySQL is open source so anyone can take a fork and continue development. b) Oracle own InnoDB already which is the main storage engine for MySQL. c) Oracle dont have any low end DB products for start-ups etc. Developer licenses may be free, but commercial use certainly isn't. d) MySQL is now a business division within Oracle and MySQL (.com) makes money. e) Google have contributed a lot of code for MySQL v6, I'm sure they'd take it on if Oracle in madness decided to drop it. f) I'm sure Oracle will push Oracle on Sun hardware/Solaris for high-end DB platforms and optimise the two so the performance stats look great and so they'll develop a migration platform so high-end MySQL users can easily migrate to Oracle when the need arises.
