MySQL Founder Monty Quits Sun (Or Not)

Paul Boutin writes "A reliable source tells Valleywag that MySQL inventor Michael Widenius, better known as Monty, has resigned from Sun. Sun bought Monty's MySQL company in a billion-dollar deal last January. Brian Aker, who forked the Web 2.0-friendly Drizzle SQL database (and former Slashdot engineer!), remains at Sun." Kaj Arnö and Sheeri Cabral share their thoughts.

1. Tell us how great your database is, (ie. postgres, mssql server, oracle etc..)

2. Tell us how shitty mysql is in your eyes.

3. Tell us how mysql "sold out"

So everything under this thread can be modded as "redundant"

Thank You.

The sun destroys everything it touches. Eventually it will implode into a black hole and devour what little shareholder value is left.
