Sun is buying MySQL?
Coolness! That would be awesome to have embedded MySQL in Netbeans
available.
http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2207444/sun-buys-mysqlSun Microsystems has agreed to acquire MySQL in a deal worth roughly
$1bn.
Sun will spend $800m to purchase all shares of the open source
database firm, plus an additional $200m to cover "options".
The vendor plans to position MySQL with its other web application
offerings and bundle the database software with its commercial
products.
MySQL will be divided among Sun's Software, Sales and Service groups,
and MySQL chief executive Martin Mickos will be given an executive
position at Sun....
