MySQL gets Pumped

2003-06-05 15:54:55.218536+02 by meuon 0 comments

"UPPSALA, Sweden - MySQL AB, developer of open source database, has received $19.5 million Series B round of financing led by Benchmark Capital with Index Ventures participating. Proceeds will be used to fuel its growth in the mainstream DBMS market."

Makes me wonder about the future of MySQL for basic lightweight web applications. That's a lot of dough that will demand a return on investment.
