Hi All,

I am not confirmed. But today I had visited the [mysql.com](http://mysql.com), there I could not able to get the mysql rpm , only mysql enterprise edition is available. If it is true , then what is the future of mysql now. I had read in Magazine “Linux for you” of Jan 2010, in this magazine written that oracle will not close the mysql and put some more money to enhance the mysql.
