Sun is blowing up MySQL!?!

April 17, 2008

MySQL is the most popular and widely used database on the planet for one reason ~ it is open source.  Sun bought MySQL earlier this year and has now decided to release new features in a closed source version of the database only available to paying customers.  Are you kidding me?  Did Sun forget that the ‘community’ built the damned software in the first place?  Guess what will start to happen?  The MySQL community will simply move to PostgreSQL and soon it will supplant MySQL.
