While new entrants into the open source database market, such as
EnterpriseDB and Pervasive Software, have made no secret of their
intentions to chase Oracle's market share, Mr Mickos said MySQL is happy
to leave them to it.
"We are thankful that they are there to define the market, there is no
product if you're the only vendor," he said. "Pervasive and EnterpriseDB
are going up against Oracle. We don't want to be in that space, we don't
want to take the heat from Oracle. If you're working in a zoo you don't
want to be the one who has to brush the teeth of the lion."
