Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Oracle License for Training
A question for the DBA Gods on this list:
Is it worth the time/effort to download MySQL and learn it? Is there going to be a viable (meaning $$) market for the product in the future? Or should I leave all the egg$ in the Oracle basket?
Musing for fun and profit.

MS SQL costing less than Oracle is only partly true.
If you load up MS with the extras that constitute a std feature set on Oracle, Oracle is very competitive.
Been lots of comparisons on that.
Now PostgreSQL and MySQL, those *are* less expensize than MS SQL and Oracle. :)
