Sun to buy MySQL AB

From Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz's weblog comes the news that Sun is buying MySQL AB, the company behind the popular free database system. "MySQL is already the performance leader on a variety of benchmarks - we'll make performance leadership the default for every application we can find (and on every vendor's hardware platforms, not just Sun's - and on Linux, Solaris, Windows, all)."

Update: More information, including what this means to the MySQL community, can be found on MySQL VP Kaj Arnö's weblog, here.
