Sorry, I misunderstood.
I would be happy to see Oracle's pricing policies adjusted accordingly
when MySQL becomes more enterprise worthy.
Interestingly enough, they are aggresively pricing some products so they
can generate revenue from new licenses.
Just attended a lunch n learn today for Oracle Collaboration Suite.
The pricing is aggresive ( I forgot already how much ).
The real surprise was that the OCS license included the database
licensing.
Want RAC? When used for OCS, it's $60 per user, significantly less
than the off the RACk pricing.

Subject: RE: SAP Hands SAP DB over to MySQL
Agreed, it's a stretch, but I was actually thinking it was MySQL who was
looking to leverage off SAP's code because they said it would reduce
development time 2 years. Meanwhile SAP folks are saying this partnership
gives MySQL customers a robust enterprise alternative. Open source hype
and "co-opetition?"
SAP's motivation for SAP DB is to provide a low cost alternative to
Oracle, that sentiment is widely shared and gaining traction. Time to
selling my Oracle stock?

I dunno. Though both want to make a profit ( and rightly so ) SAP
doesn't seem to have the same mercenary mentality that MS has.

Reminiscent of the M$/Sybase "partnership?"

At http://www.sapdb.org/7.4/pdf/sapdb_letter.pdf SAP offers "clarification:"
SAP:
"Contrary to erroneous press reports, SAP AG has not given up any rights
concerning the SAP DB code base nor handed over or even sold SAP DB to
MySQL AB."
SAP:
"SAP AG remains responsible for ongoing development and support."
CNet:
"MySQL will take over most of the development of SAP DB."

The past few months I've been wondering when MySQL would start
putting pressure on Oracle in the same way that Linux is putting
pressure on MS.
Maybe sooner than you think:
