Abstract

It is a testament to the dedication of the Oracle MySQL engineers (and Oracle itself) that MySQL continues to improve with new features. The drive within the MySQL engineering division is to continue to develop disruptive database technologies for the Internet. Oracle has not only fostered this aggressiveness but has continued to live up to its promise to invest in and expand their MySQL business. The newest version, MySQL 8, proves conclusively that Oracle has fulfilled the promise to ensure MySQL will remain the world’s most popular open source database system.
