Though not in response to the challenge I offered the company in a previous blog, Computer Associates on Wednesday will present the open source community with a challenge of its own.

At the LinuxWorld conference in San Francisco, CA will detail plans to offer a million dollar challenge “for developers to deliver a database migration toolkit,” the company said.

So stay tuned to InfoWorld for further details.

CA’s challenge, by the by, will come one day after IBM handed over its Cloudscape open source database to the Apache Software Foundation.
