Sun Microsystems "Project Peter" targets Oracle to MySQL migrations to boost sales
So I was right, the deal to buy sun was to kill mysql because mysql gaining a lot of oracle converts. So oracle got wind of it and to had to stop it somehow ... but now the deal hit an EU snag ... sounds like a movie script ... drama drama ...

MySQL was able to derive significant marketing benefit from appearing to challenge Oracle, but we penetrated the markets faster by, in reality, focusing on new, huge opportunities such as Web databases. Key to MySQL's success was its determined focus on markets that Oracle (and others) was ignoring.'
This statement, suggesting that MySQL was not directly competing with Oracle, contradicts the internal presentation, showing that targetting Oracle migrations indeed was a big part of MySQL's sales strategy.
The information is especially important in light of the pending EU decision on acquisition of MySQL through Oracle, which many fear will mean an end of the MySQL product. MySQL employees also feel betrayed by the statements made by their former CEO that placate the competition between Oracle and MySQL.

mysqld
MYSQLD(8) MySQL Database System MYSQLD(8) NAME
mysqld - the MySQL server SYNOPSIS
mysqld [options] DESCRIPTION
mysqld, also known as MySQL Server, is the main program that does most of the work in a MySQL installation. MySQL Server manages access to the MySQL data directory that contains databases and tables. The data directory is also the default location for other information such as log files and status files. Note Some installation packages contain a debugging version of the server named mysqld-debug. Invoke this version instead of mysqld for debugging support, memory allocation checking, and trace file support (see Section 28.5.1.2, "Creating Trace Files"). When MySQL server starts, it listens for network connections from client programs and manages access to databases on behalf of those clients. The mysqld program has many options that can be specified at startup. For a complete list of options, run this command: shell> mysqld --verbose --help MySQL Server also has a set of system variables that affect its operation as it runs. System variables can be set at server startup, and many of them can be changed at runtime to effect dynamic server reconfiguration. MySQL Server also has a set of status variables that provide information about its operation. You can monitor these status variables to access runtime performance characteristics. For a full description of MySQL Server command options, system variables, and status variables, see Section 5.1, "The MySQL Server". For information about installing MySQL and setting up the initial configuration, see Chapter 2, Installing and Upgrading MySQL. COPYRIGHT
