On Oracle buying Sun
Wow. This is big. It’s probably the most important and notable event in the IT business world for a while. I wonder what will come to Java and MySQL . Concerning MySQL, my guess is that finally it’s going to be a ‘change or die’ situation – we all know that the current MySQL has big flaws, and it’s quite far from being ready for the big time enterprise. Its big brother, PostgreSQL has already started on the path earlier, let’s see if MySQL can survive. One thing is definite: there’s no fear of Oracle killing MySQL as it’s not a competitor for their DB system. Java is already THE cornerstone of enterprise, so I don’t expect changes there.
Wait and see. I’m really curious about what this can bring.
