MySQL users are upset about plans Sun Microsystems disclosed this week to keep some strategically planned features — and the source code — closed. So, only paying customers will get access to the new database features.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sun acquired MySQL in February and confirmed the new online backup capabilities that are under development will only be available to MySQL Enterprise customers. Most of the software’s users have the free MySQL Community edition.<\/p>\n
The details emerged this week at MySQL’s annual user conference in Santa Clara, Calif., where Sun also revealed it will delay the release of MySQL 5.1, the latest upgrade, until June to fix bugs.<\/p>\n
The news has caused an uproar in open source circles. What say you? Does long-time MySQL contributor Jeremy Cole have a point when he says this is leading MySQL “even further down the path of getting the RHEL\/Fedora model backward.”<\/p>\n
