My predication is that mySQL proper will be dropped from the world in
the next 36 months and all
of their efforts will focus on SapDB (MaxDB). They know mySQL isn't and
really can't be within its
current infrastructure what they sell it to be... However, SapDB can be,
which is why they are creating
all these compatibility connection layers and such so existing apps will
need very little modification during
initial migration.

Sincerely,
