What will Oracle do with MySQL?
European Commission finally issued its first
opinions about the Oracle-Sun deal, and they were hardly upbeat. The
EU it seems has serious reservations about Oracle coming into
possession of Sun's MySQL open source database. Their fear is that
with the leading proprietary database maker also controlling the
leading open source database, user choices will be significantly
impacted.

There is no way that MySQL competes head to head with Oracle's flagship database. Oracle's product appeals to large corporations with thousands, sometimes tens
of thousands of users. MySQL's appeal is to small and medium size
companies, or single departments inside a large enterprise. And oh
yes, it is open source so it would be difficult for anyone to
completely control it.
Besides, if Oracle does what I think it should do, it will position
MySQL as a clear alternative to other lower-end proprietary and open
source databases, where there is no clear monopoly.
