I thought due to the headline indicating java, that maybe it just wasn't about MySQL, but I too find the lack of mention quite shocking.  I don't use MySQL, but if I did, I'd be concerned about an upcoming lack of support for the platform.  I wonder if Oracle will replace it with a free version of Oracle.<p>I like Oracle.  Lots don't, but I find it to be quite scalable and robust. I don't like it's lack of support for database standards though.
