Does the ORACLE SUN deal impact SAP MaxDB?
Oracle’s aquisistion of SUN does not impact SAP’s activities with SAP MaxDB. Oracle has become owner of the MySQL database – not of SAP MaxDB. SAP MaxDB is owned by SAP since 1997 and was never sold. All intellectual properties are with SAP. Even in the period of cooperation with MySQL AB (2003-2007) no exchange of code took place and no external contributions to SAP MaxDB coding were made.
