Oracle exec defends mySQL deal, shows off "much faster" version

|

Oracle today showed off the beta of a “much faster” MySQL and insisted that the company will continue to invest in the open source database.
At the annual MySQL conference, Edward Screven, Oracle’s Chief Corporate Architect and leader of the MySQL business, said the beta delivery of MySQL 5.5 along with the SQL Workbench 5.2, mySQL Cluster 7.1 and mySQL Enterprise Monitor 2.2 upgrades demonstrates the company’s commitment to an open source database that some believed could threaten Oracle’s stronghold in the database market.
mySQL 5.5, for instance, uses InnoDB as the default storage engine and offers a performance improvement of more than 200 percent and more than 10 times improvement in recovery times, Screven said.
