As M?rten mentioned yesterday in the CommunityOne panel, expect Sun/MySQL to continue experimenting with the business model, and with what’s offered for the community and what’s offered commercial-only. We won’t…
The “group grope” to find a new database engine
Elsewhere, evangelists have been taken to task for hype, by “fawning” and posting comments “verging on satire” in their support of the new wave - specifically, SimpleDB. Todd Hoff praised SimpleDB for eliminating much of…

A new SQL injection attack aimed at Microsoft IIS web servers has hit some 500,000 websites, including the United Nations, UK Government sites and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. While the attack is not necessarily Microsoft's fault, it is unique to the company's IIS server.

Indeed. Now the only thing missing in that conversation is the enterprise stepping up to pay for some or all of its free-loading adoption of MySQL. This is what is prompting MySQL to consider new licensing models. It would be very easily…
From the MySQL User's Conference, Sun has announced, and former CEO Marten Mickos has confirmed, that Sun will be close sourcing sections of the MySQL code base. Sun will begin with close sourcing the backup solutions to MySQL, and will continue with more advanced features.
The bottom line is, Sun’s got to make money with MySQL, so they can pay folks to both develop and support MySQL. Having gone that route once or twice before with companies, it seems as if Sun is trying to make it a win-win deal -…
