MySQL

Oracle's acquisition of MySQL is causing MySQL developers and practitioners to worry as they expect the project to stop just like everyone had expected after the previous acquisitions of Oracle. 

Looking back at the previous acquisitions of the company it can be easily remembered that when Oracle had acquired Innobase the company that makes the InnoDB storage engine for MySQL in October of 2005, there were similar worries that it was the end for MySQL in enterprise applications. However, Oracle continued to support and develop InnoDB.
