Oracle's Larry Ellison Weighs in on Sun and the EU--and He Should
In a recent post called "Another Day, Another Reason to Fret Over MySQL's Fate," I noted that the European Commission's drawn out review of Oracle's proposed Sun Microsystems merger is doing a disservice to Sun, MySQL, MySQL users and open source in general. That post also mentioned the fact that Oracle has been very mum about its intent for MySQL--and that intent is what the European Commission is focused on as it delays or possibly seeks to obstruct the merger. This is the sum total of what Oracle has had to say publicly about MySQL: "MySQL will be an addition to Oracle's existing suite of database products." Wow, very informative.
Now, ZDNet and Barron's are reporting that Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison has a little more to say about the delay of the merger. He's not happy, and rightfully so.
Another Day, Another Reason to Fret Over MySQL's Fate
Here we are in mid-September, and it's hard to believe that Oracle announced its plan to acquire Sun Microsystems all the way back in April, but the deal still hasn't gone through. While the U.S. Department of Justice quickly cleared the deal, the European Commission is continuing a drawn out investigation into it, and has expressed concerns about the fate of open source database MySQL. As we noted when the proposed acquisition was first announced, it does raise many valid questions about MySQL's future. That said, though, I have to agree with Matt Asay that the EU's extended obstruction of the deal threatens to send MySQL's customers to IBM and other competitors while doing little to no good for MySQL. This week, there is evidence of even more confusion and possibly dire consequences for MySQL.
Mysql busted on Leopard?
MySQL doesn't seem to work on Leopard after I did the upgrade. The prefs pane doesn't seem to be able to start/stop the service. Is this just something wrong up on my end? I had removed the auto-start script, so I'm not sure if this is a left-over effect of this, or something else...
Has anyone else seen this?
Monitoring site uptime-downtime
What services should one use to insure that a site is actually running as desired? What are the things I should be checking for to make sure my web application is actually running? I have the system health-check sent over daily, but what can I do to make sure my application is available. I know there are services out there. Any ideas of what the options are? I have an apache app, running on mysql and php.
Migration from Oracle to MySql
Wanted to check if people knew of any open source tools to manage the conversion process from Oracle to MySql. We are in the midst of converting at our company and were looking for any automated assitance.
MySql Backup Software
I work at a small company and we have just started using MySql. I wanted to know if anybody knows, what hot backup solutions exist for MySql which are either Open Source or relatively low cost?
