MySQL AB considering move from InnoDB

  • Posted by admin on November 23rd, 2005 filed in mysql

Over a month ago Oracle bought out the Innobase Oy company and as many of you may know MySQL AB uses the Innobase code to power its recent MySQL product.MySQLMySQL is pluggable and so could technically shift to another open source database platform with relative ease but Inno’s offering was chosen specifically for its suitability for online data processing so any change would be seen as a knock.

“Obviously because Oracle made that acquisition we are evaluating options to replace that functionality in some way,” - Richard Mason, vice president of MySQL for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

Although Oracle haven’t made a specific declaration either way and the Innobase code is under the GPL it could make things a little sticky if Oracle has patents on underlying code as the contract for providing the code is up for renewal in a years time.
