Agreed, it's a stretch, but I was actually thinking it was MySQL who was looking to
leverage off SAP's code because they said it would reduce development time 2 years.
Meanwhile SAP folks are saying this partnership gives MySQL customers a robust
enterprise alternative. Open source hype and "co-opetition?"
SAP's motivation for SAP DB is to provide a low cost alternative to Oracle, that
sentiment is widely shared and gaining traction. Time to selling my Oracle stock?

I dunno. Though both want to make a profit ( and rightly so ) SAP
doesn't seem to have the same mercenary mentality that MS has.

At http://www.sapdb.org/7.4/pdf/sapdb_letter.pdf SAP offers "clarification:"
SAP:
"Contrary to erroneous press reports, SAP AG has not given up any rights
concerning the SAP DB code base nor handed over or even sold SAP DB to
MySQL AB."
SAP:
"SAP AG remains responsible for ongoing development and support."
CNet:
"MySQL will take over most of the development of SAP DB."

The past few months I've been wondering when MySQL would start
putting pressure on Oracle in the same way that Linux is putting
pressure on MS.
Maybe sooner than you think:
