What do you know about Oracle’s InnoDB+ storage engine?
That’s right, I said InnoDB+, with a “plus” at the end. I didn’t know it existed until, while following some links from Monty’s appeal to save MySQL, I decided to read a Groklaw post that links to Eben Moglen’s letter to the EU Commission, which includes this text:
Innobase could therefore have provided an enhanced version of InnoDB, like Oracle’s current InnoDB+, under non-GPL license, …
I don’t know anything more. Do you?

Hmm. I was told that Falcon was a better InnoDB than InnoDB. Maybe I should believe everything I am told.

Speaking of Falcon: Anyone know what’s going on with it? I haven’t heard much about its progress lately. The mailing list looks like it hasn’t had any activity since the summer.

More on topic, I thought they were talking about InnodDB Embedded.

Yes they were. Sorry for being snarky — these are trying times. Embedded InnoDB is very nice. No one has done something clever with it yet but they will.

Mark, are you saying that Eben was talking about Embedded InnoDB when he wrote InnoDB+? It didn’t sound like it to me.

Monty has posted a comment on Sheeri’s blog, which says in part,
“Oracle did work on a closed source version of InnoDB, codename InnoDB+, but they never released it, probably because our contract with them stopped them.”

[...] as stable. Engineers I talk to are doubtful. There's also a rumor about something related to InnoDB+ will be announced, such as a closed source database server based on InnoDB. We'll see what it's [...]
