MySQL is also creating substantial competitive pressure on prices for proprietary databases, leading to moderation or lowering of licensing fees from Oracle and Microsoft, as well as defection of many enterprise database services to a MySQL platform. If one considers proprietary software a good thing, this reduction in their prices is an instance of the economic benefit that we seek from competition. Many of the larger users that form the backbone of Oracle's cash flow have or are expected to evaluate the benefits of migrating database services to a MySQL platform. While Oracle's database is the dominant player today for the "old" database market, MySQL is the dominant player for the "new," emerging database markets, and is seen by Oracle as the most important competitor for the future. http://keionline.org/ec-mysql
