Users of MySQL got new chance to get support of DBMS, without resorting to the help to the Oracle corporation which received control over open-source by the platform after purchase of SUN Microsystems company. MySQL ex-developer based a startup under the name MariaDB (before SkySQL) and are going to make corporations the serious competition in this market.

The plans of SkySQL are rendering "support and service to MySQL ecosystem at the level of the enterprises", according to the announcement on the website of the company. The CEO of a startup Ulf Sandberg held a post of the chief vice president for global service MySQL earlier. In addition to it all other "tops" of a startup are also natives of the former MySQL command.
