Please respond to
ORACLE-L
We use both here, use'em as back-end databases for our hosted web sites.
MySQL is fast, easy to set up and maintain, and free. Works great for our small and medium-sized web sites. But, it doesn't scale as well as Oracle and we've had better luck using Oracle with our large, active sites. MySQL with MyISAM table types has table-level locking only, and a large number of concurrent selects can slow things down tremendously.
IMHO, maintaining a MySQL database is more of a SysAdmin job than a DBA
job,
and I don't think you'll have much of a problem with the transition.
We recently finished up some benchmarking, using Oracle and MySQL with MyISAM and InnoDB table types. I can send you the test report if you'd like.
I personally think MySQL has a bright future, and when 4.1 comes out (not
expected for a year or so) it could start making a real dent in the
database
market. It has certainly helped us here; we've been able to keep our Oracle
licensing costs to a minimum by using MySQL for the majority of our sites.
If you'd like more information, Joe, email me directly.

Anyone on the list done a comparison(or worked with both) MySQL and Oracle and can give me the good/bad points of My SQL?
Doing interviewer thing and someone has My SQL who would like to move into the oracle world and i know nothing about mySQL and am wondering if the transition from one to the other is easily done.
thanks, joe
