MySQL还能继续点亮LAMP平台这盏灯么？
时间：2008-04-20 来源：linux论坛
对于一个刚刚以10亿美金把公司卖掉、同时自家旗舰级数据库产品新品发布前夜，Marten Mickos看起来不是很轻松，他以前是MySQL的CEO，现在则是Sun数据库产品的高级副总。Marten Mickos也参加了本月9日开始在德州奥斯汀举行的Linux基金会合作峰会。在会上，Marten Mickos声称他们不会放弃Linux的，他的那些听众们都是Linux商业和开发生态系统行业的大鳄，他们对Marten Mickos的发言兵没有表现出过分的惊讶。
但是还有很多关于LAMP组合前景悲观的论调在流传，比如在Sun收购了MySQL后，sun将开始推广他们的SAMP，solaris将会替代Linux，渐渐地建立自己的SAMP技术和商业生态系统，目前的整个的LAMP系统服务器市场价值超过210亿美金，Sun当然不会放过。
另外在被问道在sun收购MySQL之后，MySQL的主要发展平台是否还是Linux的时候，Marten Mickos开始闪烁其词。这点令LAMP组合的支持者们感到非常担心。
For an executive who had just had his company bought for a cool billion a few months ago and was on the eve of announcing a major update to his business' flagship database program, former MySQL CEO Marten Mickos, now Sun Microsystems' senior vice president for databases, didn't look comfortable. Mickos had come to the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit on April 9 at the University of Texas Super Computing Center to explain that MySQL was not about to abandon Linux. His audience, the movers and shakers of Linux business and development circles, were not overly impressed.
The pro-Linux crowd of 200-plus were worried that now, with Sun in charge of MySQL, Sun's focus would be on creating a SAMP (Solaris, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python) software ecosystem instead of supporting the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python) stack, which has enabled Linux to gain $21 billion worth of traction in the server market.
There was northing subtle about this concern. During his keynote address, Mickos was asked by an audience member if Sun/MySQL was still committing to keeping Linux as one of its prime operating systems. Mickos replied that Sun/MySQL was "still committed to Linux." After all, Mickos added, "If we aren't committed, then any one of you can take the MySQL code and fork it to make a new MySQL product, which I am sure you would do if Sun tried to convert LAMP to SAMP."
That quip was well received by the audience. All things considered, though, as several Linux and ISV (independent software vendor) developers said after the speech, they'd just as soon not fork MySQL. As one ISV, who didn't wish to be named, said, "Maintaining a DBMS (database management system) is hard work, and it's not the work I'm getting paid to do. We need MySQL to do its work in Linux so we can do our work with LAMP."
Mickos also used lines from the Sun executive playbook about how "Sun can claim to be the biggest open-source contributor in the world." That did not go over as well with this audience. For all the major contributions Sun has made to open source OpenSolaris and Java, the Linux community still remembers Sun's conflicts with Red Hat and former Sun CEO Scott McNealy's disdain for Linux.
