Oracle's and Sun's Top Guns Reassure the Sun Faithful
The European Commission's months-long deliberation over Oracle's proposed acquisition of Sun Microsystems is still ongoing, causing many observers to conclude that Europe's pokey investigation is hurting Sun. There are signs, for example, that MySQL customers are jumping ship for Sun competitors, such as IBM. Former MySQL CEO Mårten Mickos has written Neelie Kroes, Europe's Competition Commissioner, a letter saying as much. While Oracle itself has been relatively quiet about the delay, Sunday night at the Oracle OpenWorld conference in San Francisco, both Oracle CEO Larry Ellison and Sun Microsystems Chairman Scott McNealy addressed an audience and vowed together that Sun's technologies will continue and improve under Oracle.
OStatic Buffer Overflow...
Mickos letter to EU: Approve Oracle-Sun deal. Former MySQL CEO Mårten Mickos has written a note accusing the EU of doing a disservice to MySQL.
Seeking a Stallman for open source. Who should be the spokesperson?
Oracle OpenWorld to shed light on the company's Java plans. Application development will figure prominently at the conference.
Microsoft and Novell say relationship is "exceeding expectations." Microsoft has sold $220 million worth of Suse Linux subscriptions for Novell.
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.
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?
