How Real Is The Open Source Database Fever?

Posted by timothy on from the something-to-sell-you dept.

J. Misael G. points out a NewsForge article on recent moves by some database vendors to loudly release (some of) their products as open source, asking the vital question "How much open source beer are these newcomers bringing to the database bash, or are they simply coming in and asking where the cups are?" (Slashdot and NewsForge are both part of OSTG.)

    Luckily, it seems that the Mayo Clinic can get your symptoms under control.
