This also screws MySQL since they were possibly going to switch to SleepyCat for the data store engine. Now that option has pretty much been trashed, and Oracle also baught the current data store (Innobase). Look for MySQL to look for a data store that NOBODY can buy out. They might have to develop their own.
But, we might be suprised to see Oracle do the right thing here. They can not afford to have a bad image in the open source community. This might be part of a long term strategy to move to a service / support / consulting model and away from a license model. - Posted by: DonnieBoy Posted on: 02/14/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
