MySQL under Oracle: No changes, except to what we say
,----[ Quote ]
| His presentation followed those of MySQL
| daddy Monty Widenius and leading MySQL
| architect Brian Aker who'd spoke against a
| single company running MySQL. They'd also
| pitched their MySQL forks, MariaDB and
| Drizzle, as alternative projects and products
| to MySQL for developers and DBAs.

YourSQL, MySQL, and NoSQL: The MySQL Conference Report
,----[ Quote ]
| A: Letâs consider the plausible outcomes:
|
| 1. Oracle intends to keep developing MySQL
| as a weapon against, among other products,
| Microsoftâs SQL Server
| 2. Oracle intends to kill the project, and
| will do so explicitly by limiting or
| narrowly focusing development.
| 3. Oracle intends to kill the project, and
| will do so implicitly by deliberate
| indifference.
|
| Personally, I still believe the first outcome
| is the most likely. Iâm also on record as
| arguing that the second is much less of a
| problem than people believe, because if
| Oracle acts publicly in bad faith, this would
| create â immediately â massive commercial
| opportunity for a second player or players.
| The last scenario is clearly the most
| problematic, as an Oracle that didnât do
| anything bad but simply failed to do anything
| good could leave the community paralyzed and
| unable to muster a suitable response. Still,
| I consider this the least likely of the three
| potential outcomes.
|
| Is Oracleâs handling of the MySQL project
| important? Quite obviously the answer is yes.
| Whether you agreed with Sunâs valuation of
| the project at one billion, MySQL is clearly
| a valuable asset.

The future of MySQL according to Oracle
,----[ Quote ]
| The MySQL open source database lets Oracle
| target a segment of the market it's not
| reaching with Oracle Database. "It's
| important for us as a business for MySQL to
| be successful. For that to happen, we have
| to keep investing in it," Screven said.

Oracle Outlines Plans For MySQL Database
,----[ Quote ]
| âIt would be crazy for us to either starve
| the community edition or ignore the
| community, because all of those folks who
| are out there using MySQL for free, theyâre
| building applications and many of those
| eventually turn into paying customers. So
| itâs important to us from a business
| standpoint to keep the community edition
| viable and keep community members excited
| about MySQL.
