Aren't they just a Mysql consulting company? That's sort of like saying EnterpriseDB is an alternative to PostgreSQL.

Hi,

I'm not a DB expert, but I guess that the most straightforward
substitute for MySQL is MariaDB. Am I right?

    Hi folks,

    the Java related news are indeed quite alarming, so the OpenJDK
    java sounds very good to me (even though I don't regard myself as
    a developer). Now, as we know that also mysql is nowadays owned by
    Oracle then I ask you guys: am I the only one scared of the time
    when there is a huge price tag on mysql? Oracle is already rolling
    out the Enterprise edition of mysql so I have to ask is the open
    source mysql developing any further? When I read what mysql
    co-founder Michael Monty Widenius and the rest write, then the
    answer is clear: the (former?) mysql key developers are not very
    happy about the situation:

    Ok, like said I'm not a programmer nor a db specialist so I only
    ask this in order to hear what you db gurus say. Also, my
    intention is not to start a db war between any particular db's. I
    just wanted to drop you a line to ask whether it is indeed wise to
    follow the mysql path with OPENcast? There are other db's which
    seem way more open to me (postgres for one).

    Yours,

     Olli S

        Hi Hank,

        Thanks for bringing this up on list.

        It's unfortunate that Oracle has taken this position, but
        fortunately
        Matterhorn appears to be relatively unscathed.  Adam McKenzie
        and I have
        spent the day testing 1.3 and it seems that OpenJDK 6 works
        without
        modification.  There will be some minor work needed for OpenJDK 7
        centered mainly around dependencies for 3rd party libraries
        (log4j pax).
         I can make no guarantees for 1.2 or earlier, those have not
        been tested
        yet.

        All in all, it seems like some minor work and updating our
        documentation
        should get us through this in one piece!

            Oracle, in retiring the ‘Operating System Distributor
            License for Java’,
            means Canonical no longer have permission to distribute
            the package.

            The change will affect Ubuntu 10.04 LTs, Ubuntu 10.10 and
            11.04 users only.

            Users who have the /‘sun-java-6′/ package installed on
            their system will
            see it removed via a future software update – the exact
            date of which is
            ‘TBD’.

            Anyone requiring the software will need to switch to
            open-source
            alternatives (many of which are readily available in the
            Ubuntu Software
            Centre) or by manually installing the Java packages
            available through
            the Oracle web site.


                  OpenJDK – Succeeding Java

            OpenJDK – which until now has been the open-source
            alternatives to Java
            – will now become *the official implementation of Java*.
            Oracle
            themselves will be using OpenJDK as the basis for their
            own future
