| approval to the acquisition - a delay that
| Oracle CEO Larry Ellison said is costing
| Sun $100m every month it waits for a
| decision on the deal.
|
| And while he warned that "time is of the
| essence" for success with such high tech
| deals, the former MySQL boss believes the
| proposed acquisition could be a boon to the
| open source movement.

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.
