"Oracle has promised a "decisive new approach" to MySQL, the popular open source database it owns, following growing criticism of its approach and the prospect of a significant fork in the code. In a blog post published last week, Big Red, which acquired MySQL with Sun Microsystems in 2009, said MySQL has new engineering leadership at the company and "a clear vision for 2026 and beyond.""
"He said Oracle would take a three-pronged approach, firstly by introducing developer-focused features into the open source MySQL Community Edition. He said Big Red also planned to "extend and enrich" the developer community by offering more tools, frameworks, and connectors for MySQL. "Finally, we are increasing transparency and encouraging broader community participation, ensuring that more voices help guide MySQL's evolution," he said."
