Why are you worried re the future of MySQL and it's new owners Oracle.

 a) MySQL is open source so anyone can take a fork and continue
 development.

 b) Oracle own InnoDB already which is the main storage engine for
 MySQL.

 c) Oracle dont have any low end DB products for start-ups etc.
 Developer licenses may be free, but commercial use certainly isn't.

 d) MySQL is now a business division within Oracle and MySQL (.com)
 makes money.

 e) Google have contributed a lot of code for MySQL v6, I'm sure they'd
 take it on if Oracle in madness decided to drop it.

 f) I'm sure Oracle will push Oracle on Sun hardware/Solaris for high-end
 DB platforms and optimise the two so the performance stats look great
 and so they'll develop a migration platform so high-end MySQL users can
 easily migrate to Oracle when the need arises.
