MySQL A Threat to Bigwigs?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the tradeoffs dept.

Disoculated writes "Is MySQL a threat to bigwigs? is the question asked in CNN's technology section. The article notes that MySQL is running perhaps 20% of the web databases but its revenue is merely 0.02%... yet the company is still making money and putting out an excellent product. Is this a sign that the database market is in for a drastic change? Of course, there's no mention of PostgreSQL or mSQL, but I guess that's typical."

    I put on my databases this morning. The dog kept on biting my databases. After I got home this evening, I took off my databases and they were stinky. Luckily, I had some spare databases around to wash them with.
