Questions about MySQL 6.x
Any WAGs?
- mysql6 will clearly not be fully open, will it still be free to use? Or will that be conditional? - will mysql fork into a crippled free version, and a pay full version? - will web hosting companies move to mysql6, or will they just stick with mysql 4/5? - what market is sun targeting for mysql?
