It appears that fears over how Oracle might treat MySQL may have been not only misplaced, but directly wrong. C|Net is reporting that far from treating MySQL as a red-headed stepchild and deprecating it in favor of its own products, Oracle is actually increasing budget and engineering resources allocated to MySQL development, as well as sharing engineering know-how from its eponymous flagship product with MySQL . In fact, Oracle sees MySQL as a complementary product to its Oracle DB that can be aimed directly at MSSQL.
I was one of the doubters. On the strength of current evidence, I stand corrected.
