MySQL is an open-source database management system that uses SQL and was a popular choice for new web applications in the 2000s. By 2006, MySQL had over 8 million installations but received less than 1% of revenue from the $15 billion database market, which was dominated by Oracle, IBM and Microsoft. MySQL shifted to offering more paid support and services to generate more revenue beyond one-time licensing fees.

2. MySQL ( มายเอสคิวแอล ) คือ โปรแกรมระบบจัดการฐานข้อมูล มีหน้าที่เก็บข้อมูลอย่างเป็นระบบ รองรับคำสั่ง SQL ( Structured Query Language ) เป็นเครื่องมือสำหรับเก็บข้อมูล ที่ต้องใช้ร่วมกับเครื่องมือหรือโปรแกรมอื่นอย่างบูรณาการ เพื่อให้ได้ระบบงานที่รองรับความต้องการของผู้ใช้ MySQL Open Source Database in 2006 MySQL เป็นระบบฐานข้อมูลแบบโอเพนซอร์ท ( Open Source Database ) สำหรับจัดการระบบ Database ผ่าน SQL ปัจจุบันบริษัทซันไมโครซิสเต็มส์ ( Sun Microsystems, Inc .) เข้าซื้อกิจการของ MySQL AB เรียบร้อยแล้ว ฉะนั้นผลิตภัณฑ์ภายใต้ MySQL AB ทั้งหมดจะตกเป็นของซัน

3. เอสคิวแอล ( SQL ) คือ ภาษาสอบถามข้อมูล หรือภาษาจัดการข้อมูลอย่างมีโครงสร้าง มีการพัฒนาภาษาคอมพิวเตอร์ และโปรแกรมฐานข้อมูลที่รองรับมากมาย เพราะจัดการข้อมูลได้ง่าย เช่น MySQL, MsSQL, PostgreSQL หรือ MS Access เป็นต้น SQL (Structured Query Language) MySQL powered the majority of new ” Web 2.0 ” applications like youtube.com, flickr, zimbra, and facebook as well as the world’s largest web site like Google, Yahoo!, Craigslist, and Wikipedia.

5. MySQL held only estimated of 0.2 percent of the $15 billion database market ( measured in revenue ) . Moving into the Enterprise Database market 2004 - 2006 MySQL had a 33 percent market share measured in installed base, second only to Microsoft ( 78 percent ) and Oracle ( 55 percent ) , but ahead of IBM ( 22 percent ) Oracle, IBM, and Microsoft dominated this $15 billion market with mature products. The three leveraged their brand, their integrated software stacks, and their service and partner networks to win in fierce competition.

7. A relational database management system (RDBMS) is a database management system ( DBMS ) that is based on the relati onal model. Most popular commercial and open source databases currently in use are based on the relational model . ในการติดต่อกับข้อมูลในฐานข้อมูลไม่ว่าจะด้วยการใช้คำสั่งในกลุ่ม ดีเอ็มแอล ( DML ) หรือ ดีดีแอล ( DDL ) หรือจะด้วยโปรแกรมต่างๆ ทุกคำสั่งที่ใช้กระทำกับข้อมูลจะถูก DBMS นำมาแปล ( คอมไพล์ ) เป็นการปฏิบัติการ ( Operation ) ต่างๆ ภายใต้คำสั่งนั้นๆ เพื่อนำไปกระทำกับตัวข้อมูลภายในฐานข้อมูลต่อไป

9. In October 2005, MySQL shipped its version 5.0. More Functions and Features This new version, with the feature set comparable to those of Oracle, IBM, and Microsoft put MySQL in more direct competition with the big three. version 5.0 included stored procedures and triggers, functions which were explicitly outlined by Oracle. ( SM–124A MySQL Open Source Database in 2004 )

10. BIT Data Type Cursors Information Schema Instance Manager Precision Math Storage Engines Strict Mode and Standard Error Handling Triggers VARCHAR Data Type Views XA Transactions Performance enhancements What Is New in MySQL 5.0 The following features are implemented in MySQL 5.0

11. However , in mid 2006, the product was still not certified by MySQL’s alliance partner SAP, the maker of the market leading enterprise resource planning ( ERP ) software. Despite added precision mathematics, tuning and scalability properties, the functions were still insufficient to meet the database need of SAP’s applications , which, in two of three cases, ran on Oracle.

12. Originally, MySQL had mainly one-time licensing revenues from its OEM business . Changing Business Model, More Services The OEM business was designed for customers who wanted to redistribute MySQL embedded into their own products.

13. In early 2005, MySQL introduced the ”MySQL Network,” a support offer for end users, which Zack Urlocker, EVP of Products, described : ” The core MySQL database remains open source, but these services are only available to paying customers.” Changing Business Model, More Services Mark Burton, EVP of Sales, commented : ” We’re following the Red Hat pattern. The subscription business is a growth business for us and that will, maybe even as early as the end of [2006], overtake our OEM business.”

14. To offer scaled support services globally, MySQL listed many new partners including Hewlett-Packard, Novell, IBM, NEC, Unisys, Samsung, and hundred of smaller companies. Changing Business Model, More Services However, as the company began charging for services, Mickos reported a change in expectations from their customers : ” For the first time we have customers that are complaining. When you have a five-star hotel and you charge virtually nothing, then nobody will complain. Now as we charge more, they also demand more and we pay even more attention to their requests.”

15. In 2006 , MySQL claimed to have 8 million active installations and 50,000 downloads per day, a 50 percent increase since 2004. Results And only one in 1,000 productive installations ended up as a MySQL customer paying for licenses or support. In February 2006, MySQL closed a third round of funding from a venture capitalist and industry pundits Intel, Red Hat, and SAP.

16. Results The company raised $18.5 million resulting in $30 million cash in the bank. MySQL had inspired imitators. Highlighting the company’s success, many other open source database companies had also entered the market.

17. Open Source Databases-New Entrants - Closed source databases become open source - In August 2004, IBM had open sourced Cloudscape. Also in 2004,Computer Associates (CA) open sourced its Ingres database.

18. Open Source Databases-New Entrants - New open source database start-ups - In November 2004, Stanford-tied db4objects released db4o. - In 2005, start-up EnterpriseDB announced PostgreSQL.

19. - Both start-ups felt they made great progress, enjoying an extremely low cost structure. - db4objects listed Boeing, Intel and Seagate as their customer. - EnterpriseDB boasted to lure Sony Online away from Oracle to their platform.

20. ” Trying to kill MySQL by acquiring open source is like trying to kill a dolphin by drinking the ocean.” -Marten Mickos, CEO MySQL ORACLE’S RESPONSE Not only Oracle but also IBM and Microsoft have each lowered their database prices and created aimed at smaller organizations and partners. In October 2005, Oracle released a free low-end version, followed Microsoft, and Sybase.

21. The purchase of open source companies was started by IBM in May 2005. Purchasing open Source Database Companies In October 2005, just when MySQL released version 5, Oracle announced the Finnish. MySQL and its users feared that Oracle would discontinue InnoDB and thus seriously harm MySQL’s business.

22. Purchasing open Source Database Companies The leading transactional storage engine for the MySQL open source database . Innobase, a subsidiary of Oracle , is a MySQL Enterprise Platinum partner . Innobase

23. Purchasing open Source Database Companies InnoDB product family - InnoDB - InnoDB Plugin - Embedded InnoDB - InnoDB Hot Backup

24. In February 2006, Oracle announced Sleepycat, and was expected to replace InnoDB. Purchasing open Source Database Companies In April 2006, Oracle becoming a MySQL partner. Linux was an essential part of Oracle strategy to compete with Microsoft and IBM. In September 2006, MySQL dropped support for Oracle’s Sleepycat products.

25. - In May 2005, IBM provided an open source application server called Apache Geronimo. - In November 2005, middleware company BEA acquired Solarmetic and announced Open JPA. Open Source Buying Spree : Application Servers and Databases

26. Is MySQL Competing with Oracle? Is MySQL better? What about IBM, Microsoft, and SAP?

27. CONCLUSION Was MySQL really competing with the Big Three? Were they the most dangerous competitors? Who could halt MySQL's advance?
