Yeah, I know it is early days right now but I do think that Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems has not harmed MySQL.Oracle has not done anything to get in the way of MySQL and as far as I can tell, it's basically business as normal: People are still using MySQL.Admittedly, I have been busy at my job at Blizzard Entertainment but I really haven't seen anything which alarms me.Besides, the

You know already that InnoDB in MySQL 5.5 has great
improvements in performance and scalability. You will have to
wait a few months for that, though, because MySQL 5.5 is not
GA yet. But if you need some extra performance in MySQL 5.1, you may want to use the Innodb Plugin instead of the built-in one. As of version 5.1.47, the Innodb plugin is of GA quality, and it comes with a good out-of-the-box improvement compared to the built-in engine. |
To test my assumptions, I used one of my test Linux servers to
perform a sysbench on 5.0.91, 5.1.47 built-in and plugin, and
5.5.4. The MySQL servers were all configured with

Improvements for Flexviews, materialized view for MySQL
5.1+
-
- There is up-to-date documentation available as manual.html, a
robodoc generated version of the manual for the SQL_API
interface. The manual is generated from RoboDOC comments embedded
in the source code. This makes it easy to maintain the
documentation if the interface changes.
- Flexviews has a new easier to read, and hopefully easier to
understand website. You can find a copy of the manual on the web site as well.
- There is a SQL converter on the website than will automatically generate Flexviews SQL_API calls from a SELECT statement. The next step will be to turn this into a MySQL proxy script that …

Glyn Moody has an interesting piece on Why Patents are Like Black Holes where he looks at the situation when a large patent holder goes bankrupt - or is about to. His point is that even if a company otherwise can go out of business cleanly, the patents often remain as a piece of "IPR" that can come back and haunt us like a zombie.
Also Matt Asay recently weighed in on the subject:
