Hi Jeremy + Mysql List, I am german of course I read the German announcements last week and also the one you mentioned below.
While I am not sure what you would like to know let me start with some wild guesses from my site. For me that looks very strategic and easy. SAP AP customer are in the enterprise business MySQL AB customers are anything from "hobby users" to other professionals. So they split the marcet (become also more powerful), build trust to their customer base and can offer 2 products instead of 1 to the same customer. This also means that they become more competive to ... let's say other products. I live in Japan so the marcet will no doubt be different here then in Germany or in the US. While you have a strong Oracle based marcet here in the Japan you have a strong SAP DB enterprise marcet in Germany. I guess you know how the marcet looks like in the US. Does this make sense ?
