MySQL is a database component in the open-source WEB development kit LAMP and is used in the database backend of tens of thousands of websites around the world. recently, the open-source Database entered the enterprise-level market and was successful. From this point, MySQL has become the opponent of Oracle's "fist product" Oracle Database 11 GB. according to industry experts, the ideal situation is that Oracle has different market positioning for the two databases and sells the two products at the same time. in fact, MySQL can also learn from Oracle's data base technology.

But what worries us is that Oracle has always wanted its enterprise customers to use more expensive database products. in this way, it is no longer in Oracle's interest to continue to maintain an open-source database that enters the enterprise-level market.

In a letter about the acquisition of Sun, Oracle President Charles Phillips talked about the benefits of the company's Java and Soloris operating systems, but did not mention a word for MySQL databases. this is clearly not what MySQL customers want to see.

In fact, apart from Oracle Database 11 GB, Oracle has open source Database products, such as Berkeley DB and InnoDB, but the influence is far smaller than that of MySQL.

Industry media have pointed out that we still need to wait and see how Oracle will deal with MySQL with a large number of open-source users in the future.
