MySQL 6.0 Nixed?

I'll never understand why big companies buy out an open source project when the chances are it'll just stall and loose all credibility. Who gained from that transaction, aside from the team who got their cash windfall and ran.

MySQL's release troubles started well before their acquisition. I think the jury's still out on how Sun does with them.

Due to the inherent unreliability of the Sun/Oracle acquisition of the software, my company quickly tossed MySQL for an embedded desktop dB and moved to use SQLite, haven't even bothered to look back. That was the far better choice for our application by far (and much much cheaper).

s/loose/lose

Why do so many people make this mistake? It drives me crazy!

The word "choose" probably doesn't help much.
