Oracle sheds light on its Sun plans
,----[ Quote ]
| MySQL was tackled early in the
| presentation. Oracleâs chief corporate
| architect, Edward Screven, said the company
| would integrate MySQL into Oracleâs
| software stack because many of Oracleâs
| large customers use both databases. âI
| think Oracle will do a better job of
| developing MySQL than has been the case
| over the past five years,â he added.

LCA: How to destroy your community
,----[ Quote ]
| Josh Berkus is well known as a PostgreSQL
| hacker, but, as it happens, he also picked
| up some valuable experience during his
| stint at "The Laboratory for the
| Destruction of Communities," otherwise
| known as Sun Microsystems. That experience
| has been distilled into a "patented ten-
| step method" on how to free a project of
| unwelcome community involvement. Josh's
| energetic linux.conf.au presentation on
| this topic was the first talk in the
| "business of open source" miniconf; it was
| well received by an enthusiastic crowd.

Database Thought Leaders Divided on Oracle MySQL
,----[ Quote ]
| How will this affect EnterpriseDB in
| particular?
|
| "Oracleâs official ownership of MySQL
| simply further supports the fact that
| PostgreSQL is the only real choice for
| organizations looking to deploy an open-
| source database that is backed by a truly
| independent community," Alston said.

Why PostgreSQL is a better enterprise database than MySQL
,----[ Quote ]
| There are many more features that make PostgreSQL
| well-suited to the enterprise. Security is huge, but
| PostgreSQLâs support and focus on data integrity, granular
| access controls, ACID compliance, and other core focuses,
| really explain why PostgreSQL is so highly favoured amongst
| many database administrators.
