I've seen MySQL truncate data on insert without warning.

MySQL also does not have foreign keys. It accepts the syntax of create foreign key, but nothing is created, nothing is enforced.

I recently did a migration from MySQL to Oracle, and these were the two major issues I faced.

Let me know if you have any more specific questions.
