Today seems to be a good day to buy companies.
Sun buys MySQL
Oracle buys BEA
...and the day has only yet begun. Let's see what happens next.

I'm excited by the news.
I really do love MySQL, as the same as I love Java and db4o :-D
Because of Java, I have to support Sun,
but the giant may be not powerful, and doesn't gain much benefit from Java :-(
Now, Sun will combine MySQL, I have much "imagination".
We have many and many projects are based on Java+MySQL.
I hopes the deal would produce a beautiful flower...
a cup of Java, cheers!

Easy, veeerry simple
IBM buys db4o.
