MySQL is NOT owned by Oracle. InnoDB, the only relational engine supported/used by MySQL IS owned by Oracle and Oracle has been in the process of removing it from "free" releases of MySQL.
If you want a REAL database, you install PostgreSQL. This is a really database though and requires a bit of planning. If all you need is some form of storage and you don't care about data integrity, use SQLite. On Sat, 2011-05-28 at 13:31 +0100, Tom Davies wrote: > Hi :) > > Is MySql owned by Oracle?
