Although my initial reaction with the acquisition was negative, but I think in the long run, MySQL will be better off as SUN has an excellent track record with Open Source Software.
I think SUN would be smart and not try and merge JavaDB and MySQL, but it seems like a likely step.
Overall its a very nice step, and its good to see the recent (since 2006) resurgence of open source development platforms and OS’s.
I have moved my blog to my own domain www.Pakzilla.com. I will disable posting comments and going to link all posts to my new blog. For now I will make all updates and reply to your comments there.
