Speaking at a forum in Silicon Valley, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison said that the delay while European Union regulators consider whether to approve Oracle's acquisition of Sun is costing the latter company US$100 million a month. He also insisted that the Oracle would maintain MySQL and outlined an ambitious future for the combined companies.

...Ellison said, Oracle has no plans to move MySQL out of the company. "We're not going to spin it off," he said, expressing confidence that the European Commission would come to the same conclusion as the U.S. Justice Department.
