Oracle Buys Sleepycat

Sean Michael Kerner writes on internetnews.com:

It turns out that one-third of the rumor surrounding Oracle buying a trio of open source companies was true.

Oracle today announced that it will acquire open source database vendor Sleepycat. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The acquisition adds Sleepycat's line of open source Berkeley DB databases to Oracle's embedded database product line. Sleepycat develops three versions of Berkeley DB: Berkeley DB, Java Edition and XML.
