This might get interesting, Oracle bought Sun after IBM stepped away from the table.

Is anyone else worried about what might happen with MySQL now that Sun owns it? It could in fact turn out to be great for the MySQL community but that remains to be seen.

Are we going to see everyone have to shift over to PostgreSQL suddenly if Oracle does anything drastic with/to MySQL?
