Sun acquires MySQL!
Remember when I said Sun was a company that listened? They sure do.
Maybe MySQL will finally start fixing all the performance/concurrency issues with InnoDB (basically, InnoDB’s threading and concurrency aren’t working well with modern multi-core CPUs). Google’s had some fabulous patches for awhile, and the brilliant Yasufumi Kinoshita does as well, but they don’t seem to be making their way into MySQL anytime soon.
Personally, I worry they’re focused too much on Falcon and not enough on InnoDB – but luckily Sun listens, so that may change.
