SAP and MySQL to cooperate (?!) - Mailing list pgsql-advocacy

Heise [*] is reporting that SAP and MySQL are forming a partnership
with the aim of creating a database server product based on
MySQL and SAP-DB. The report indicates MySQL will do the development
over a period of several years.

The report (in German, haven't seen any other sources) is here:

It also says the existing SAP-DB will be rebranded "MySQL".

Babelfish says:

("barrier village" is babelfish's rendering of the place name Walldorf, where
SAP is located).

(BTW here in Germany it is no longer April 1st ;-)
