Why is Oracle fighting so hard for Sun's MySQL?

,----[ Quote ]
| Oracle Corp (ORCL.O) has allowed regulatory
| approval of its $7 billion acquisition of Sun
| Microsystems Inc (JAVA.O) to drag on for months
| due to controversy over a database that most
| users get for free.
|
| Sun's MySQL database, while minuscule in
| revenue terms, is important to Oracle because
| it can help the company expand into new markets
| and improve its competitive edge against arch-
| rival Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O), analysts say.

,----[ Quote ]
| The survey of more than 400 developers also
| showed that the open source database MySQL is
| closing the lead that SQL has in emerging
| markets. According to the survey, more than 50
| percent of developers in the emerging market
| countries said they are using Microsoftâs SQL
| Server, but 46 percent said they are using
| MySQL.  MySQL is slightly stronger in India and
| Latin America, but Microsoft's SQL Server leads
| in China and Latin America, Evans Data officials
| said.
