About the SCO announcement of MySQL Network support

I have heard some concerns about SCO’s announcement regarding MySQL support. IMHO all this is not about MySQL AB, nor about SCO, but about serving users of the SCO platform who use MySQL.

As the announcement notes, the news is about including SCO in MySQL Network, so that certified binaries and support are available for this platform. Users of the SCO platform deserve having quality support available for their database deployments just like anyone else on any other platform. Right?

  1. Wrong!

    Given SCO’s track record to date, any company that does business with them is risking their own future. Everything should be done to encourage SCO’s customers to find alternative options. SCO is unlikely to survive another year.

  2. MySQL, being one of the most multi-platform RDBMS, provides excellent platform independence for the RDBMS component of an application/stack.
