Sun Microsystems "Project Peter" targets Oracle
to MySQL migrations to boost sales
,----[ Quote ]
| The PDF file presents an internal
| presentation of Sun Microsystems on
| "Project Peter", a Sun confidential project
| to migrate customers using Oracle onto the
| MySQL database system.
|
| In a statement towards the EU, former CEO
| of MySQL, Marten Mickos, wrote:
|
| MySQL was able to derive significant
| marketing benefit from appearing to
| challenge Oracle, but we penetrated the
| markets faster by, in reality, focusing on
| new, huge opportunities such as Web
| databases. Key to MySQL's success was its
| determined focus on markets that Oracle
| (and others) was ignoring.'[1]
|
| This statement, suggesting that MySQL was
| not directly competing with Oracle,
| contradicts the internal presentation,
| showing that targetting Oracle migrations
| indeed was a big part of MySQL's sales
| strategy.
