- Larry Dignan, ZDNET: <http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=16598> "Oracle gets to kill MySQL. There’s no way Ellison will let that open source database mess with the margins of his database. MySQL at best will wither from neglect. In any case, MySQL is MyToast." - Larry Augustin, long time open source investor and entrepreneur, suggested on his Twitter feed <http://twitter.com/lmaugustin> "Oracle probably keeps some of the storage software assets while selling the hardware parts to EMC, Hitachi or HP. Win-win." - Marten Mikos, former MySQL chief told Forbes:<http://www.forbes.com/2009/04/20/mysql-marten-mickos-technology-enterprise-tech-mysql.html> "Larry Ellison is smart. MySQL was getting around 70,000 downloads a day when I left. It's an amazing grip on young developers. Having MySQL makes business sense for Oracle." * * * *** *Well Not Only Open Office, with this acquisition Oracle would even have*MySql *and Java . Oracle is after the Hardware and Solaris OS too. It's not the dark side I am looking, but my concern is how well will MySql get benefited from it, and How will it Support Java Community.
