I've no interest in dissing one RDBMS over another. Yes I like Oracle
best, but PostgreSql isn't bad either. SQL*Server I have my heartburn
with, mainly because of the vendor. But I do find it funny that Oracle
which had a running PR war with MySql now has to reverse course because
it is in their product line. Kinda like poetic justice???

As my last three work environments, (can't count #Pythian, we do have
MySQL DBA specialists on staff to offer extensive professional support
of MySQL databases...) I've quickly taken on projects to either build
or support MySQL databases. I always found MySQL a database easy to
acclimate to since I specialize in Oracle and SQL Server. If only more
SQL Server DBA's were actually DBA's, SQL Server could be a real
competitor for Oracle, but due to the Microsoft OS and their marketing
platform similar to Gieco's, "So simple even a caveman could do it!" I'm
not seeing THAT ever happening.
I think Oracle is attempting to not make the same mistake that Microsoft
has, by pushing MySQL out there to real DBA's to see if they will pick
it up, build it right, demand features that need to be introduced to it
that will make it a real competitor, etc. You might be surprised what
it can do with a knowledgeable design, development and administration
behind it... :)
So, you should all start picturing the borg from Star Trek, with an
Oracle trademark tattoo on their backsides and MySQL installations as
part of their base programming saying, "Resistance is futile. You will
be assimulated..." :)

I think they are positioning it to be a competitor to SQL Server.
