Agreed, however, I think this is Sun trying to get at low end DB users
who would otherwise use a Wintel/M$-SQL instead of a UNIX/Sun based
solution.  Since Sun sells hardware, they'll win either way as the DB
grows.  I'd read the reporter missed their bit and the article as a
UNIX vs. MS bit and not an Oracle vs MySQL bit.  -sc
