I am sure many of you reading this have received Michael’s plea this morning as well. The original developer of the MySQL database is worried that his brain child will be terminated by its new owner Oracle. I think his worries are justified. He pleads for you to sign a petition to keep MySQL free. I have signed, but all this makes me contemplate moving to PostgreSQL. I think it’s a better database engine anyway and this might be just the tipping point. I will probably start experimenting with it in new projects.
