Sun announces agreement to acquire MySQL
On January 16, 2008 Sun entered a definitive agreement to acquire MySQL, developer of the world largest Open Source database. The move reaffirms Sun as a leading provider of hardware and software platforms for the web economy.
The news is really exciting and as expected. Sun has been involved in open source development and released great products like Solaris 10, OpenOffice and now MySQL is going to be under Sun’s flagship. With the involvement of Sun in MySQL development and the funding, Sun will be able to leverage MySQL further from its current position.
More exciting news and features from MySQL and Sun will be expected to breakout very soon.
