Oracle Lines Up Unbreakable MySQL

Posted by Hemos on Monday January 29, 2007 @05:10AM from the the-swirling-of-large-and-small dept.

munchola writes "MySQL CEO, Marten Mickos, has revealed to CBRonline that Oracle has threatened to provide support for MySQL and is already distributing the open source database. "They have hinted to us that they will," said Mickos, indicating that the database giant is planning to repeat its October 2006 Unbreakable Linux plan, which saw it undercut Red Hat with enterprise Linux support. Despite the competitive threat, Mickos is unmoved. "I hope they do that," he said, noting that it would be seen as an endorsement of the open source database.""

MySQL is great if you want a lightweight, fast database with lousy data integrity that doesn't need to be terribly robust.

There. Much, much better.
