Rackspace Cloud 'Drizzles' Into Open-Source Software
,----[ Quote ]
| As Oracle continues to shed the former
| open-source software personnel of Sun
| Microsystems, other companies are
| benefiting from the transition. Among those
| is cloud computing and hosting vendor
| Rackspace, which recently hired four of the
| key open source developers behind the
| Drizzle database effort, a spin-off from
| the Sun-owned MySQL database.
|
| Rackspace uses MySQL today in its
| infrastructure but has said that it sees
| its limitations when it comes to cloud
| deployments. That's the reason behind the
| company's interest in Drizzle. In some
| ways, Drizzle is an enhanced version of
| MySQL, providing additional cloud
| scalability features, but Rackspace said
| the project is not quite ready for prime
| time yet -- but with its investment, it's
| hoping to help get it there.

Does Oracle mean end for MySQL?
,----[ Quote ]
| Basically it means that Oracle does see a
| future for the open-source version of
| MySQL, as long as it does not conflict with
| the roadmap for its own proprietary
| database tools. How Oracle handles this
| remains to be seen. When contacted, Oracle
| refused to make any comments, though in an
| earlier analyst call, Oracle CEO - Larry
| Ellison, had said that 'Oracle will make
| MySQL better', with Edward Screven,
| Oracle's chief open-source architect,
| promising that Oracle will continue to
| support the open-source MySQL database.

Oracle-Sun: An Insiderâs View for Sun Partners
,----[ Quote ]
| I continue to be impressed with Oracleâs
| commitment to partners and extremely
| excited by the new business opportunities
| the acquisition can provide to Sunâs value
| added partner community.
|
| Sunâs channel partners are some of the best
| companies in the industry. As they move
| from the Sun Partner Advantage Program to
| Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) Specialized, I
| think they will be impressed with what OPN
| Specialized can offer â providing their
| business with the ability to differentiate
| themselves across the Oracle product
| portfolio, including Sun servers and
| storage.

Where did all of the MySQL Developers Go?
,----[ Quote ]
| The vast majority are still at Oracle, some
| have left, but plenty are still there. This
| got me thinking about "who wrote what".
| Innodb is a sizable piece of code and it
| continues to be at Oracle. Without Innodb,
| you don't really have a database that is
| 24/7. Innodb has been there for years.

Time flies (one year of MariaDB)
,----[ Quote ]
| It is now one year since a few colleagues
| and I left Sun to start our own company,
| Monty Program Ab (after which more have
| joined). A lot has changed during the year.
| For instance we ended up producing a full
| fork of MySQL rather than focusing on the
| Maria engine as I planned a year ago.
|
| This February we released the first stable
| version of MariaDB, version 5.1.42, which
| is our enhanced and backwards compatible
| MySQL branch/fork. You can download it from
| the askmonty.org website. Please test it
| out and comment upon it here or on
| Launchpad, the code host for the MariaDB
| project.

Kiss your MySQL website goodbye
,----[ Quote ]
| The fact is that if you run a business
| website, you need to perform proper
| backups, and not just the stuff that gets
| put on a tape and thrown in a closet each
| evening.
|
| I am writing this article specifically for
| those beginning Linux web administrators
| who need to know how to properly backup
| their website. Just because you're new to
| Linux and web serving does not mean it is
| difficult or that you should try to avoid
| performing proper website backups.
