The latest technology news, besides MacBook AIR, is the Sun / MySQL buyout. This sounds like it can be great for the MySQL community, but is also quite scary. Sun has lots of money, resources and influences in the enterprise marketplace. This could mean faster, better, and more stable development efforts to the behind MySQL Server. MySQL 5 already has introduced enterprise additions like triggers, stored procedures, foreign key constraints, views, etc. and is used by Google and Facebook. But with this double edge sword Sun could keep all the latest and greatest under commercial license products only. I don’t think they would because that is what has made MySQL so great and the reason for buying MySQL AB.
