As you can guess, anyone involved in the database market speculates quite a
bit about moves like this, and why. I don't think the acquisition was really
all about MySQL anyway
(http://www.lynnfredricks.com/2009/04/20/oracle-to-counter-microsoft-by-buyi
ng-sun/). I can't imagine it being killed, but used as a bridge to move as
many customers over to more expensive solutions for the longest time
possible.
