MySQL's Response to Oracle's Moves

mAriuZ writes "I've recently written two articles on this topic for Database Journal, the earlier, written after the InnoDB purchase, entitled Oracle's purchase of InnoDB, their release of Oracle Express, and the effect on MySQL, and the most recent, just after the Sleepycat purchase, entitled Pressure on MySQL increases as Oracle purchases Sleepycat, with more to come. Since I only do a monthly column for Database Journal, and things change quite quickly, I thought I'd post a few more thoughts on the topic."

Hmm, maybe they wanted an author with better street-cred on the subject?




Joke, joke... thanks for sharing. I'm never going to whine about having a submission rejected again ... even to myself. Thanks for all the good work, keep up the fight, etc., etc.

You have a typo.
Can the same be said of Oracle? If Oracle falls apart tomorrow due to some massive accounting fraud being publicized, where does that leave all the current Oracle users?

You ment to say:
