Oracle's FREE Database
It seems as incredible to us as anyone I'm sure, but also particularly prescient. We've talked about the intersection of Oracle and Open Source since 2000 when it wasn't the topic of the day. In recent news however, things have changed quite a bit.
First of all Oracle announced in early October it was buying Innobase the company behind a big transactional component of MySQL. And now this week they've also announced their Express Edition of 10g. We confess to not having fully reviewed the Express Edition to see what features are there and so on. But the trend seems clear, and welcome.
