MySQL 6 and new storage engine

See a news on CSDN:

At a recent MySQL user conference, MySQL CEO Marten Mickos announced that the next large version of the MySQL open source database, MySQL 6.0, will be introduced into their self-developed Falcon storage engine. MySQL's development of the Falcon Storage Engine is a response to MySQL's rival database maker Oracle.

The reason is that MySQL relies on InnoDB to provide it with the most important storage engine, while Oracle acquired InnoDB to crack down on MySQL.

A database storage engine, especially an enterprise-class application database storage engine, requires years of improvement to achieve sufficient stability. From this point of view, MySQL, the budding engine may not be reassuring. But, if I remember correctly, two or three years ago InterBase's father had joined MySQL, I have a lot of hope. InterBase is the database I used my favorite one, small and lean, easy to maintain, have withstood the test of long-term enterprise applications, with all the necessary high-end features, and, more rarely, does not have all the necessary functionality. When the InterBase and MySQL a ratio, think MySQL is simply rubbish. However, the InterBase open source version of the Firebird community is far from MySQL strong, so MySQL is still my first choice.

If MySQL and interbase can be one, that is really good for the open source community, it should also be the entire database area of fortune.
