It would be silly to kill MySQL anyway, as the support contracts do
bring money in :-)

I think if Oracle is wise it will leave Sun mostly alone to run it
business. Oracle and Solaris SPARC is a big money spinner and I do not
see it going at all (we may even get a Solaris X64 version now). We
all know that Solaris and OpenSolaris would eventually be combined
back into the 1 O/S it was just a matter of when it was going to
happen (after Solaris 10 or after Solaris 11) since the cost of
support 2 O/S is very expensive. That process may be brought forward now.
The only question I have is what will happen to the Sun databases
postgres and MySQL. I guess the die hard fans of MySQL will create
there own break away version. It would be a great shame if Oracle
killed MySQL off since it is the database of choice for the small user
and web. I am a heavy Oracle user and I would hate to go back to it
for the small applications, plus I would not afford the hardware
upgrades. (MySQL run on any size m/c, Oracle runs on expensive beast).
