Sun今日宣布收购Mysql
Sun公司(NASDAQ: JAVA) 今日发表声明称，出资10亿$收购Mysql AB，希望能够籍此在数据库市场分得一大杯羹。现如今，已经有相当一部分大公司使用mysql，比如Facebook, Google, Nokia, Baidu and China Mobile，mysql作为一个open source databases，取得这样的成绩实属不易。Sun的这一收购行为，不仅能在数据库市场同oracle,microsoft以及ibm形成有力竞争，更能和它的其它开源产品一起，巩固Sun在开源世界的地位。
SANTA CLARA, CA January 16, 2008 Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAVA) today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire MySQL AB, an open source icon and developer of one of the world’s fastest growing open source databases for approximately $1 billion in total consideration. The acquisition accelerates Sun’s position in enterprise IT to now include the $15 billion database market. Today’s announcement reaffirms Sun’s position as the leading provider of platforms for the Web economy and its role as the largest commercial open source contributor.
Mysql作为LAMP黄金组合中的M，实在功不可没，它的易用性以及良好表现给许多php应用提供了强劲的动力。但不知从此以后，LAMP黄金组合是否还能风光再现（或者该换成LAPP了？）。
