In case you haven't spotted this:

Sun to buy MySQL for $1000M.

Don't know if it's good or bad, but it's news.

Any they were doing so well with PostgreSQL.


It'll be good news if Sun get rid of the stupid licenses. I've been a postgres fan for a while now, but the majority of web applications I host require MySQL :(
