Open-Source Database Adoption May Be Linked to Economy
,----[ Quot ]
| Open-source databases such as Ingres, MySQL and PostgreSQL may see increased
| adoption as businesses look to minimize costs in the wake of the economic
| downturn. However, there are other factors to consider in open-source
| database adoption besides economics, so open-source fans should not jump for
| joy just yet.

A bright future for MySQL
,----[ Quote ]
| MySQL is an example of a disruptive technology. At first, it was too puny for
| the proprietary databases to notice, and satisfied only small users. But its
| powers grew, and the size of the companies using it also increased. It cannot
| match the upper limits of DB2 capability at this point, but it will be
| interesting to see if and when that day comes. But it doesn’t have to; it is
| already transforming most of the database market. May Sun invest the money
| (and employ the open source software developers) to take it to the top.

| aplenty, some of it grossly misinformed, on just how much change this will
| mean for staff at the small Swedish company.

| encouraged to blog," he said. "This is not a closed company, what happens is
| transparent.
