The more I think about MySQL's response to the acquisition of Innobase, the more I believe that it could turn out to be a hugely positive turning point for the open source database vendor.
When Oracle acquired Innobase, the developer of InnoDB, MySQL's storage engine of choice, there was a natural fear that it would enable the software giant to hold its open source rival to ransom. Now it appears the acquisition will put MySQL in an even more competitive position.
