Luckily, we use WO and can therefore switch database technologies quickly.

I guess the only upside is at least Sun didn't sell out to Microsoft! Imagine if your equation was

Java == C# == MSSQL

For Apple and WO developers, I see that MySQL may take the biggest hit
on this one, and so it may no longer be a preferential "default" for
initial web development, etc if its fall from grace is further
accelerated by Oracle's disdain for it. It may also mean that the
marketing message you'll here from all corners of the earth is that
Java == Oracle == Java. Why use any other DB? You heard it here first.

Me -- I've already chosen PostgreSQL, so I couldn't care less.
