I'd add "business risk" into the discussion. Mysql has an interesting road ahead of it, and there are certain people that just won't put open-source Oracle in their critical path.
- falcolas 14y agoFortunately, there are at least two drop-in replacements, if Oracle should drop the ball. Percona Server, and MariaDB. Both are based on the well-vetted core of MySQL, and both are continuing to make huge strides in the capabilities and stability of MySQL. Of course, Oracle hasn't dropped the ball yet; 5.5 was a good, solid release from them.
