Cory,
I was also thinking about MySQL's fate, now that Oracle are buying Sun
- who own MySQL (sort of).
What will Oracle do with MySQL - one of its competitors in the
database market? Will MySQL become marginalized? Will Oracle stop
supporting it?
OK, there is open source MySQL but should a business build its system
on open source with no guarantee of support?
