MySQL's Day in the Sun

By Jeff Whatcott - Posted on 16 January 2008

So Sun has acquired MySQL

I think it’s great news for all involved, and for the open source industry in general, and for the global LAMP tribe in particular.

This acquisition seems very likely to be one part of a Sun initiative to get back in the middle of the web technology universe. They will continue to invest heavily in the LAMP stack and further integrate it with the Java stack in bid to achieve a superhybrid stack. LAMP and Java each have their own global tribe of users with distinct cultures and preferences. Based on my recent conversations with customers and years of experience, there is a lot of potential in this area. I’ll write more about this soon.
