Sun buys MySQL

I just read on Slashdot that Sun Microsystems acquired MySQL. That is of particular interest to me because I love MySQL. I use it for all of my side projects and some of my professional projects. It should be interesting because MySQL has gained a lot of popularity with PHP developers and the whole LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and either Perl, Python, or PHP) movement. Many web developers who use MySQL, don't seem to think of Java as the first language to use with it. Java, being Sun's major programming platform, is now going to be linked to MySQL. So I wonder if the LAMP acronym might be changed to LAMJ???? I know, that doesn't make much sense. But from my perspective, a web developer who loves to develop in Java, that combination opens a lot of doors.

This acquisition might also open MySQL up to a more professional world. For the past 10 years, though MySQL has been used in some minor projects and applications, the big question I always see in regards to databases is "Oracle or SQL Server?" Many of the organizations I worked for didn't really trust MySQL. So now, I wonder if companies and organizations might change their mind, now that MySQL has Sun behind them.
