We all know that as the customer's business volume grows, key enterprise information is also increasing, some enterprises need to have scalable, open, and fast world-class information system support and solutions, and need to access the complete application resources without interruption.

As the customer's business volume grows exponentially, key enterprise information is also surging. Enterprises need to provide scalable, open, and fast support and solutions for world-class information systems, and you need to access all application resources without interruption. Sun's MySQL database enables quick and easy implementation and expansion of the most popular businesses in the network economy era.

Backed by Sun's global enterprise support, MySQL has become the most trustworthy and Optimal Choice for various enterprise database management systems (DBMS. In fact, Sun's MySQL Enterprise Edition can help customers better innovate on the platform they choose, and achieve unlimited scaling at minimal risk.

With the impact of the economic crisis, there are more and more opportunities for open-source database MySQL. In the past 10 years of rapid economic development, Oracle has occupied half of the enterprise-level databases. However, in the financial tsunami, enterprises have become more pragmatic, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity for MySQL databases.

With MySQL5.1. MySQL can help enterprises provide comprehensive solutions, support transactions, and provide good scalability and availability. In the investigation, the reporter noticed that more and more companies are using or paying attention to the enterprise MySQL5.1, such as Facebook. MySQL technology is widely used to support their network services. With the financial tsunami, more and more companies that have been able to afford the high cost of Oracle Support have finally realized the value of open source databases and Open Source Services.

For example, Japan is very conservative. Generally, the Japanese banking industry is more conservative. But now a Japanese bank fully adopts open source technology and their operating systems use Linux, their databases use open-source databases, fully using MySQL databases. In the past, major companies may use proprietary databases, and now they are switching to open-source databases. In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, the total cost of ownership, open source technology can help them save a lot of cost and high technical costs.

Talking about the relationship with other database products in the future market environment, Mr. Daniel Saito said: "compared with other database products, MySQL is always a product of open source technology, A database that provides services purely. This is what MySQL is best. Some may ask what to do with MySQL's security. What should I do without different functions? Security is not the core competitiveness of MySQL. MySQL will leave development and innovation in security and other aspects to the developer community. The relationship with Oracle is first a partnership with Oracle, and it will continue to maintain the existing good relationship.

For example, Oracle provides storage technology to MySQL. Oracle has its own strengths, has a large market share, and is good at enterprise users, while MySQL is good at the network. It should be said that it has its own strengths, and cooperation between us can produce cooperation. "

In terms of business models, Mr. Daniel Saito also pointed out that Oracle's business model is different from that of MySQL. Oracle has always been famous for selling products to end users, any of their products may include not only software but also services. MySQL is a database solution. Generally, ISV or OEM is required to integrate our products.

End users or enterprises purchase our products indirectly, such as Adobe, which contains our MySQL products. They deeply integrate us and then sell them to customers. Therefore, every time you use Adobe, MySQL performs operations and records in the background. As for which business model is better, I would like to say that each has its own advantages. Our practice may make our footprint slightly smaller.

In the current economic situation, open-source products are increasingly favored by enterprise users. The popularity of MySQL 5.1 is even more obvious. In the 10 days that MySQL5.1 was officially released, the number of downloads has exceeded 0.25 million. The low cost of MySQL 5.1 combined with its high performance, high scalability, and excellent enterprise-level features make it the most suitable database solution for many large enterprises and Web companies.

Mr. Li Yongqi, marketing director of Sun Greater China, said: "Apart from improvements in MySQL, it also has many new features, especially the Enterprise version, which changes the architecture and technical ideas, these features can be used better to provide better enterprise use."
