MySQL6 and new storage engine _ MySQL

MySQL6 and the new storage engine saw a piece of news on csdn:

At the recent MySQL User Conference, MySQL's Chief Executive Officer Marten Mickos announced the upcoming launch of the next large MySQL open source database version, MySQL 6.0, the new database version will be added to their self-developed Falcon Storage Engine. MySQL developed the Falcon Storage Engine to respond to Oracle, a rival MySQL database vendor.

The reason is that MySQL relies on InnoDB to provide it with the primary storage engine, while Oracle acquired InnoDB to combat MySQL.

A database storage engine, especially the database storage engine for enterprise-level applications, requires years of improvement to achieve sufficient stability. From this point on, I am afraid that MySQL, the emerging engine, cannot be reassuring. However, if I do remember that, two or three years ago, the father of InterBase joined MySQL and I had great hopes for this. InterBase is one of my favorite databases I have used. it is compact and easy to maintain. it has stood the test of long-term enterprise-level applications and has all the required high-end functions, does not have all functions that are not required. When InterBase was compared with MySQL, MySQL was considered as garbage. However, the community of InterBase's open-source version FireBird is far from powerful MySQL, so MySQL is still my first choice.

If MySQL and InterBase can be combined into one, it would be a blessing for the open-source community and a fortune for the entire database field.
