BRUSSELS — European regulators delayed the proposed takeover of Sun Microsystems by the software company Oracle on Thursday, indicating that the combination could squelch the growth of a popular, free corporate database program owned by Sun.

Sun Microsystems, the computer hardware and information technology company, is to cut 3,000 jobs in the next year as it awaits the verdict of an EU antitrust investigation into a takeover by Oracle, the business software giant.

The job losses - about 10 per cent of the global workforce - are the latest in a series of cuts by the struggling company, which reached the $7.4 billion deal with Oracle in April.

So Sun acquired MySQL and now Oracle is to acquire Sun? That is quite a reacharound.
