Oh for crying out loud
Do you really seriously think that Oracle will kill MySQL? Geez.
They make so much money off of Oracle licenes, MySQL is a huge joke for
them.
There are things MySQL is really good at, and there are things Oracle
are really good at. There is some crossover, but most companies have
Oracle/MySQL/MSSQL in their data centers. Oracle buying Sun/MySQL is the
best thing for it. Now one can have a full soup to nuts Desktop to
Server stack mixing the best of open source and proprietary software.
This is the first viable, business ready alternative to the MS stack.
