Here is a blog about a recent MySQL conference with title, "Why MySQL
Grew So Fast":
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/4715
and a a Slashdot discussion about it:

My question is, "What can we learn from MySQL?" I don't know there is
anything, but I think it makes sense to ask the question.
Questions I have are:
o Are we marketing ourselves properly?
o Are we focused enough on ease-of-use issues?
o How do we position ourselves against a database that some
say is "good enough" (MySQL), and another one that some
say is "too much" (Oracle)
o Are our priorities too technically driven?
