Dave, For IP if you wish.One of the Sun's assets is the open-source MySQL database software, which is used by many, many Internet sites. I am curious, and somewhat concerned, about what Oracle intends to do with that product now, as it does compete directly with Oracle. There are other options for sites which prefer or can only afford an open-source platform rather than commercial products, but none so widely used as MySQL. These are uncertain times for a large number of website operators and other users of MySQL.
