SchoonerSQL

While MySQL has been a success not eligible, there is always a whisper and regret of those who want to use open source database in mission critical situations. If you need 9 five types of availability and features other great companies, MySQL is not possible yet to scale for you. But of course if You have Your Oracle and MySQL, it's not too big a problem because if MySQL is not enough companies, they have other databases they can sell You would be the largest scale of the work. Now a company called SchoonerSQL wanted to give a version of MySQL scale out.

While SchoonerSQL is not open sourced, owes much of its existence to the fact that MySQL is open source. They have a commercial license from Oracle to sell their version of MySQL with the addition of a Schooner. But because of the commercial version of MySQL is based on the open source version, Schooner has access to the source code that enables them to make modifications and improvements they have made. If they start with closed-source databases, chances are the commercial license they would not give them access to the source code to make this change.

What changes they have made? Well according to Jerry Rudisin, CEO of Schooner that I spoke with the other day, the Schooner took this to the standard MySQL:

All this adds up to five 9s of availability on the MySQL platform is familiar. The schooner is also promising Compatibility 100% with MySQL as well.

Of course one has to wonder about Oracle's feelings in all this. If you are using MySQL and want a more scalable database with enterprise features, Oracle just might have something to sell you. But Rudisin says that Oracle to date have been picture perfect partners, supports the Schooner and be cooperative in every way possible. Personally, I think Oracle will support until they feel that they lost more money by not raising Schooner customers to Oracle than MySQL license they made selling through the Schooner.

If Google is the evil empire is next?

When Google () entered the music business the Nasdaq with the Zune a few years ago.

Incredible similarities between Google and Microsoft in similar stages in their development. Microsoft plays an integral role in making Universal PC adopted and consistently from different manufacturers with Windows. Google brings the Internet to a whole new level with search engine and AdSense. But with this business of cash, spit and a dominant position on the spot, they need to expand to other businesses.

After Netscapeshattering, Microsoft go after Google Yahoo! (andNasdaq:) to the music player, and comes to the mobile phone market after almost everyone else.

Along the way, Microsoft went from a company with products for all people to the company a lot of us avoid at all costs. Microsoft become so large that it takes to emulate another company products to grow the business, and the muscles used in processes and products who are excited about creating change me off of the company. I'm afraid I see Google doing the same thing now.

Microsoft 2.0
Very sad to see that Google is slowly becoming the same kind of companies like Microsoft, and Google platforms music icing on the cake in my mind. This is a rip-off Apple iCloud and iTunes with a few minor tweaks. But this is not really new if we think about the market that Google has tried to insert after dominating the search.
