Oracle bought Innobase in 2005, the company which makes the InnoDB storage engine used by most MySQL installs - and InnoDB is still around. I think that Oracle will keep both since MySQL deployment is _huge_, and the market segments being catered to are slightly different. Even if they try to cut corporate support, MySQL will still exist because it's an open source project and will be taken over by the community. I don’t think Oracle will kill off MySQL.
