Steve,
I'd say IF. Reason is that MySql has a commercial company behind it and it
appears that they see looming in the near future. Their licensing costs
have risen in the last 3 months. Granted their a pile cheaper than Oracle
(correction, make that a mountain), but as always if there's a buck to be
made Personally I prefer PostGreSql, which happens to be the direction our
WEB master wants to head off on.

For me the question is not If? but When?
Any prognostications?

Mark my words, it will happen.
...The MySQL part, not the outsourcing part. :)

If MySql continues as planned, I think Oracle will
find it a force to be reckoned with, much as MS
has discovered to be true about Linux.
Of course by that time, according to the latest IT
business intelligence as seen in Computer World,
most of our jobs will have been outsourced by then,
and it wont' matter much.

Subject:RE: Oracle License for Training
A question for the DBA Gods on this list:
Is it worth the time/effort to download MySQL and learn it? Is there
going
to be a viable (meaning $$) market for the product in the future? Or
should
I leave all the egg$ in the Oracle basket?
Musing for fun and profit.

MS SQL costing less than Oracle is only partly true.
If you load up MS with the extras that constitute a std
feature set on Oracle, Oracle is very competitive.
Been lots of comparisons on that.
Now PostgreSQL and MySQL, those *are* less expensize than
MS SQL and Oracle. :)
