I have a soft spot for MySQL....especially in small deployments. I love that it's relational but behaves like it's file-based. Their enterprise customer service is excellent and persistent, too.
But now that Oracle owns them, I'm a little concerned they're going to become Oracle-lite.

Members of the MySQL community have created several forks (variations) such as Drizzle, OurDelta, Percona Server, and MariaDB. All of these forks were in progress before the Oracle acquisition; Drizzle was announced eight months before the Sun acquisition.

A lot of people share your concerns about Oracle owning mySQL, especially some of the original designers. Forks are underway.
