With the acquisition of Sleepycat Software, Oracle now owns a competitor.
Berkely DB is the open source database server that Sleepycat was behind... and now 'belongs' to Oracle.
Something to take note of....
There are reports that Oracle is on the move to also purchase JBOSS and Zend.
I know that Oracle had come out with more initiative to support PHP some time ago. What could this combination mean for Oracle?
They are looking at acquiring a fairly diverse set of products... I would say it's a possible move.
Zend is the company that 'takes care of PHP'... so you could have a majorDB vendor less some competion and controlling a very popular server scripting language in PHP..
Keep your eyes open. You just never know.
