Will Oracle let MySQL keep its new enterprise chops?

One person’s take on what’s going to happen to MySQL under its new ownership.

Summary: Oracle owns InnoDB technology and will position MySQL to be limited to “Web database” (versus for enterprise software like Oracle’s Applications offering?) and perhaps limit its scalability.

This may be an issue for some larger users, but for many it will probably not be a problem.
