EU Approves Oracle-Sun Deal

The European Union has finally approved Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems.


"The decision follows the company's promise in December to allow other companies to build on Sun's MySQL database, to invest more in R&D to develop MySQL and to set up a customer advisory board of MySQL users," writes Eric Savitz at Barron's.


"Now the fun begins," writes ZDNet's Larry Dignan. "Oracle first has to stop the bleeding at Sun. With the merger in limbo, IBM and HP grabbed server share and delivered body blows to Sun. Now Oracle has to stabilize Sun and then deliver more tightly integrated hardware/software packages along the lines of the Exadata machine."
