oic. I am wondering then how this is going to impact On-Rev, which
offers mySQL support? I intended to write a multiuser application
and host it on my On-Rev site, but I am wondering now if Runrev is
going to be forced to charge users an extra fee to continue to host
MySQL if Oracle ever decides to up the ante, so to speak, or even
discontinue mySQL to force people to adopt Oracle.
Having a certain department here who purchased Solaris and Oracle
long ago for their server(s) and databases, I can testify that these
are VERY PRICEY options, and are overkill for almost all but the
high end database needs.
Another plausible scenario could be that Oracle decides to have two
revenue streams, Oracle on the high-end and MySQL on the lower-end,
expanding the scope of their products and keeping MySQL free for
non-commercial users but cutting down its high-end features. All of
this is however pure speculation and we just have to wait and see.
