What do you think Oracle will do with MySQL? Also what will happen to
the IBM project to have a DB2 storage engine for MySQL on the AS/400

It appears to me that the suits at Oracle and Sun are
positioning themselves as a formidable rivals of IBM.
There seems to be quite a bit of chatter saying that
IBM must be kicking themselves.

Oracle ends up with a complete hardware-software stack;
chips=>servers=>operating systems=>virtual machines=>
developer languages & tools=>DBMS=>applications=>consulting ...
