Considering the recent buyouts, this sounds like good news. Looks like the extremely popular database that we call MySQL today may someday go by the name MariaDB: Monty Widenius, the main author of MySQL, has announced he is setting up the Open Database Alliance (ODA) to consolidate work on the open database. The ODA will consist of a set of companies offering software, support and services for MariaDB, an enterprise-grade, community-developed branch of MySQL. MySQL serices company Percona is the first to join. "Our goal with the Open Database Alliance is to provide a central clearinghouse for MySQL development, to encourage a true open development environment with community participation, and to ensure that MySQL code remains extremely high quality," said Widenius.

I've been tracking both Percona and MariaDB for quite some time (even before the recent Sun/Oracle buyout). In addition, I've been watching OurDelta and Drizzle as well. I have to agree with William, we have nothing to worry about. The future of MySQL looks very bright, even if the MySQL name doesn't come with it.On May 15, 2009, at 4:17 PM, <william@knowmad.com> wrote: knowmad wrote: JT Smithph: 703-286-2525 x810fx: 312-264-5382 Create like a god.
