Oracle tried to buy open-source MySQL

Oracle should pursue buying MySQL: Oracle should continue pursuing the MySQL buyout

WHY?
SAP is working too close with MySQL. Reason enough. but seriously the bid to move in aggressively into the SMB market. MySQL has got to be the buy Oracle is waiting for. With the plans to buy Jboss, it already will have a good light weight App server and with a good light db server which will/should be tipped "Oracle lite" (eventually).

So a little late in the game (IMO they should have done this long ago!)but still not worth giving up!!
