They have attempted this before. However remember that SAP is a big
stack holder in MySQL AB's financing. They will do everything in their
power to prevent Oracle from buying MySQL AB, as MySQL is their wedge to
commoditize the database market (MySQL is getting SAP certified soon),
which is their open mission statement ever since they released SAP DB.
