If Oracle is dumb enough to kill off MySQL the internet will just transition away from RDBMSs all together.<br /><br />If Oracle closes off Java, PHP, Ruby, Erlang and JavaScript will see greater movement and adoption.<br /><br />++ if you give the founders of Sun Microsystems an exit, we may just see some new things in the marketplace.<br /><br />I say let Oracle take up Sun, and lets start thinking about what is next.jdavid.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08041487903900574711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5552895785228669482.post-71848038329174704282009-07-14T05:48:31.927+03:002009-07-14T05:48:31.927+03:00As someone who has been very involved in open sour...As someone who has been very involved in open source for the last few years (first at Eclipse and more recently at Red Hat), I too wait to see what Oracle will decide on the MySQL issue. Many wait to see what they'll do - and personally I vote for more transparency. Transparency is one of the main keys to open source. And as Alex said, if Oracle chooses to pull the plug I think there may be riots of developers and OSS users.Fitzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12762089629432071554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5552895785228669482.post-56637213550850419452009-07-10T04:14:10.289+03:002009-07-10T04:14:10.289+03:00Yeah.

I've got few Oracle sessions accepted but no response on MySQL yet. Not sure it indicates anything though. Perhaps, they gotta wait for official acquisition completion post DOJ approval.<br /><br />Quite a few prospects (using Oracle) we've been talking to regarding their MySQL adoption are now in the waiting mode with an argument "why would we adopt MySQL as it's the same vendor as our main databases?". Well, I guess one of the primary reasons for adopting MySQL in this case is to gain some leverage against another vendor.<br /><br />As to killing MySQL if Oracle decides to go that way... I guess Oracle would need to be quite creative to succeed - plan "stop" would just turn community against Oracle and they will focus on other initiatives like you new alliance.Alex Gorbachevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03862972144277237798noreply@blogger.com
