Interview with Marten Mickos (ODBMS Industry Watch)

Roberto Zicari interviews Sun's database group head Marten Mickos. "Q1. It appears as if the positioning of MySQL has been refocused more predominately on the Web applications / SaaS / ASP market in the last year or so. Would you agree with this, and if so, what does that mean regarding the potential of MySQL to penetrate further into the enterprise? Marten Mickos: Great question. We believe that enterprises will move to web-based architectures, and with that wave, MySQL is penetrating the web market. Goldman Sachs stated in 2006 that "the shift to more web-based applications in the enterprise is unstoppable". The percentage is still relatively low (10-20% I think) but it is growing."
