Sun owns MySQL. Oracle’s press release about it here.

Does this mean an end to MySQL? Are all companies using MySQL will now get really harsh sales pitches to use Oracle? I love Oracle and I love MySQL – the beauty of both is competition. “MySQL is better than Oracle because…” and “Oracle is better than MySQL because…” are what drives both to get better.

Good for Oracle and Sun, but I’m curious to see what happens.

On the upside, Chris and Lig will now be coworkers.
