InfoWorld: Ingres r3 open source database ships for Linux, Windows

InfoWorld: Ingres r3 open source database ships for Linux, Windows: November 01, 2004: By Paul Krill  - "Although MySQL has had its open source database on the market, CA believes it offers a more enterprise-ready alternative with r3 which, unlike MySQL, provides features such as triggers, stored procedures, and views. MySQL plans to add those to its product next year.
'We believe that MySQL has proven that there’s a market for open source databases, but we don’t believe that they have the technology to meet all the needs,'said Emma McGrattan, vice president of development at CA.
"

An interesting take on why to open source a product: there is a market, and we are better than the competition.
