MySQL Focus of New META Group Research

MySQL AB and the MySQL database server are the focus of two new reports regarding the impact and implications of open source software in a mature database market. META Group technology industry analyst Charlie Garry, who will present his findings at the first annual MySQL Users Conference next week, authored the research.

"These reports, from one of the most well respected technology research and analysis firms, are extremely important to the open source community and to those companies who need strong, objective research and validation that open source software can meet strategic IT goals," said MySQL AB CEO Marten Mickos.
