Now that Oracle bought Sun/MySQL what do you think?

Mmmm..... Oracle just bought Sun / MySQL.

Any followup on your arty? Seems like MySQL could indeed be in trouble.

Time to get forkin' the project !

I Dont See the Issue

I dont see the issue with there being a real or percieved partnership.

Interesting ideas, was not aware of this

"Sun and Oracle, have been strategic partners for years."

Wow, this is news to me. It looks like the deal then made alot of sense for Sun, who tthen own assets in databasing that they can leverage against the partnership with Oracle.

SUN has a wordwide sales

SUN has a wordwide sales channel. turning to services is proven to be a good model (see IBM and HP). But what should SUN sere on this channel? They hardly have anything complete. Pieces of this, pieces of that. They were the dot in .net (back when it was a hype, not a CLI), they have a lot of accounts in the telco and ISP scene. But CIOS like one stop shopping. They go to Oracle or IBM, where they get middleware, DB, frontend. Now SUN will have a nice DB fit for 90% of the appservers tunning on an 1U departmental server. Oracle saw the same, that's why they now offer OS support....

I don't think SUN would do such a favour for Oracle when Oracle is bombing them down to the iron, and out of the app server, OS market.
