The Quandary over Open Source Support
,----[ Quote ]
| If youâre like a lot of IT organizations,
| youâve got servers from Hewlett-Packard,
| routers from Cisco, operating systems from Red
| Hat and Microsoft â and you may even have
| Solaris from Sun somewhere. For good measure
| letâs throw in a few databases from MySQL that
| occasionally take a virtual table or two from
| your SQL Server farms â and letâs not forget
| to mention the Oracle database that runs your
| CRM software. To top things off youâre running
| a slew of other open and closed source
| software that all together keeps your business
| running.

MySQL 6 Features Roll Into MySQL 5.5 Milestone
,----[ Quote ]
| Even with all the drama surrounding Oracle's
| pending acquisition of Sun and critics'
| concerns about its impact on Oracle's open
| source database competition, Sun developers are
| still hard at work on MySQL. One of the fruits
| of their labors is the recent MySQL 5.5
| milestone 2 development release, which
| introduces many new features to the open source
| database -- some of which were originally
| intended for MySQL 6.0.
