RissRoss talks about MySQL, as does bskool bloggin. Two very different perspectives. RissRoss has some question about what MySQL is and goes to do some great web research contributing a lot of links to the class. One note of caution, RissRoss, MSQL and MySQL are two different things although they had some similar origins. MySQL is the only real survivor these days.
bskool takes more of a business perspective and notes that it is good that companies are no longer blowing a lot of cash on a mature technology. Think about this in terms of the IT Doesn't Matter article you read in 301. bskool, you might have taken Sarah's sage advice on titling your article.
