MySQL is an open source database management system which allows multiple users to access multiple databases at the same time. On January 16, 2008, MySQL was acquired by Sun Microsystems for about $1 billion.

As of April 20, 2009, Oracle now owns Sun Microsystems.

"Both sets of customers confirmed what we've known for years - that MySQL is by far the most popular platform on which modern developers are creating network services. From Facebook, Google and Sina.com to banks and telecommunications companies, architects looking for performance, productivity and innovation have turned to MySQL. In high schools and college campuses, at startups, at high performance computing labs and in the Global 2000. The adoption of MySQL across the globe is nothing short of breathtaking. They are the root stock from which an enormous portion of the web economy springs." Jonathan Schwartz, CEO of Sun on the acquisition of MySQL Helping Dolphins Fly
