A very interesting article posted on the phparch blog explains how MySQL will be debudled from PHP5. SQLive will come as a bundled application.
On Jeremy's blog It came to my attention that

We are faced today with a world in which little old ladies can get computerized television remote controls, 12 year old kids can blow Real Men out of the water playing Sony Play Stations and X-Boxs, and anyone can buy and even understand their very own Personal Computer. The Real Programmer is in danger of becoming extinct, of being replaced by business-school students with Windows running drag and drop programming languages like Visual Basic!
