No, that doesn't seem to follow ... if Oracle are spending their resources to attack MySQL rather than us, the conclusion would be that they are clearly still more informed by "the buzz" than technical merit. What seems likely to me is that the Innobase purchase was a target of opportunity --- they saw a chance to destroy a potential threat, and took it. This proves nothing about their assessment of the relative risks from us and MySQL ... only that they haven't yet thought of an equally painless way to destroy us. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
