Sun may or may not be about to obliterate Oracle and Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| Sun Microsystems is about to horsefuck the database world, and nobody sees it
| coming. Imagine a SQL database that can support the absurd level of
| concurrency promised by HyTM. Conveniently, Sun owns one of the most popular
| relational databases in the world: MySQL. If MySQL on a single Rock based
| system can outperform Oracle or Microsoft spread across many systems, then
| DBAs worldwide would gladly tell Larry Ellison or Steve Ballmer where to
| shove it.

Interesting comment spotted on Jonathan Schwartz' blog:
,----[ Quote ]
| [...] I work for a major Fortune company, and we're in the process of putting
| Oracle on a "sunset" list of restricted vendors. No new applications are
| allowed on Oracle, the only approved vendors are Sun/MySQL and Microsoft/SQL
| Server. So I don't know how Sun did that, but if their objective was to
| provide competition for Oracle, it appears to have worked with my
| management...

Oracle users go ga-ga for open source, including MySQL
,----[ Quote ]
| It's great to be king (aka "Oracle"), but apparently the peasants are
| secretly in revolt. According to a survey of the Independent Oracle Users
| Group (IOUG) [PDF], open source adoption is rampant within the rank-and-file
| of Oracle users...including widespread adoption of MySQL.
