Sun and MySQL: How It Stacks Up for Developers

Embracing an open-source model for Java technology, the Solaris Operating System, and other properties has made Sun Microsystems the world’s largest corporate contributor to the open-source community. MySQL, already the world's most popular open-source database, fills an important niche in Sun's software stack. Backed by Sun's reach and resources, MySQL is poised for even wider adoption. The result should benefit Sun, MySQL, the developer community, and enterprise customers both big and small.
