Sun Buys MySQL

with 2 comments

b1_msql_announcement.jpgSun could’ve just downloaded MySQL from the site and run without paying :) .

Anyway, Sun buying MySQL is a big deal and a big surprise. Another slightly related acquisition news today is – Oracle buying BEA, the app server company. Incidentally, Oracle owns both InnoDB and BerkeleyDB – two of the better engine options of MySQL.
