    So... does this count as a dupe, or does the fact that now there's an official announcement from MySQL AB with today's date on it make this one more concrete somehow?

    there has to be something scalable to bridge the gap between this and oracle. i guess mysql is trying to fill such a gap...

    What's wrong with ambition? Without it, Linux wouldn't be everywhere that it is today. Personally, I think they should set their sights on making sure that they're better and faster than everyone else out there (Oracle included). At least it's something to shoot for, rather than deciding that what they produce is "good enough".

    "to enhance the development of large-scale enterprise database applications"

    should be "to enable".
