[51CTO. COM exclusive Article] SUN was sold at 19 o'clock on the evening of June April 20, and the buyer was Oracle, the world's largest database software provider.
After the message was sent, I was overjoyed and worried. SUN finally found a good ownership and sold a good price. SUN's Solaris operating platform is also taking advantage of the old tree to shoulder the task of defending Unix honors. It is worried that SUN's little dolphin MySQL, a competitor that Oracle did not like very much before, whether it will be downgraded or even sentenced to extreme punishment.
In the early days, the PK was incorporated into Oracle by MySQL engine manufacturers such as InnoDB. At that time, many of the MySQL's core members sweated. However, at that time, the MySQL software was firmly in the hands of non-Oracle camps, so it did not have any impact on MySQL. However, this hammer sale in the evening of Beijing time actually sent the MySQL little dolphin to Oracle.
At that time, SUN spent $1 billion on MySQL, So SUN had a complete system from development languages to middleware, databases, and operating systems. But now we are at the bottom of Oracle, and MySQL is definitely hard to escape.
Maybe Oracle will continue to maintain its open-source MySQL program, but Oracle's own database will dominate the world and there is no need to establish another store. MySQL will basically be blocked after taking the high-end path.
Once upon a time, there was an article saying that Oracle and MySQL were both high and low, and there was no direct competition. If the two products were in one company, the results would be better. But I don't think so. If Oracle doesn't have any intention of a low-end market, why did it release the free Oracle10g express version to compete with MySQL? Moreover, MySQL has joined many enterprise-level application technologies to serve the high-end market.
Will MySQL's open-source development approach grow healthily in the soil of companies such as Oracle's private non-open-source software? This type of question is easy and will not be discussed for the moment. It is perhaps the most worrying whether Oracle will quickly remove MySQL with the acquired quick knife.
We are worried about the fate of Solaris when IBM acquires SUN. After Oracle acquired SUN, we had to worry about the fate of MySQL. Ah, poor MySQL. Early in the morning, it would be nice if you didn't enter SUN's court.
