Hi
I know MySQL is free to download and use. But is it totally free. Or do you have to pay if you are commercial?
I believe it is owned by SUN. Is this true?
Cheers Possum
MySql has packages much like many antivirus companies. A free package, and a corporate package. I'm pretty sure you can use the free package even if you are corporate.
Yep, it is free. I don't understand why there is a payed version but whatever. And yes, it is owned by Sun.
I think the paid version is for extra support.
the free version is open source. you can tinker with the source code if you are a guru at cpp...
However, the enterprise edition features many optimizations, security audit, support and automatic security alerts, etc.
