"Loss of MySQL talent from Sun will resurrect concerns among MySQL customers over the long-term development of the database now it's with Sun."

not really, people come, people go.... all the time, in all companies... it's not like it's the first time someone quits a company.

Look at what you wrote. working at Sun seems to give very good results in the long run, doesn't it?

In fact, Sun seems like a great company to work to.

$2.50 .... I bet no one will ever do a reverse stock split again! The coffee company needs a (new) leader.

It's not like someone with technical skill left...

Thumb Up

SUN is an engineering company... an engineering company is a good thing for engineers in MySQL.

if the guy was involved in technical projects, I would be concerned... if the guy was a V.P. over Asia Pac & Japan and still doing coding, I would still not be concerned, since he was not doing his V.P. job.

I'm sure the departed will have a nice time in another startup company - and may even build another company for SUN to buy up later and profit again!
