I don't read it as PostGreNeverMind. I read it as Oracle has more
mindshare, marketshare and more money then PostgreSQL so it makes darn
good business
sense to have a partnership with Oracle as well.
Sun is going to go where the money is. There is not a ton of money in
PostgreSQL or MySQL (although a heck of a lot more in MySQL).
