CNN Saturday, October 24, 2009Why Oracle Must Decide Soon About Keeping MySQLAnalysis: Industry experts have varying opinions on whether Oracle should divest itself of MySQL so: a) it can conclude the $7.4 billion Sun Microsystems acquisition, and b) satisfy people who are concerned that Oracle will own a database monopoly.
