Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Oracle License for Training
Rick - I agree that it can't hurt. Looking at another database can even give
you a fresh perspective on Oracle. Some assignments involve converting an
application from MySQL to Oracle. The critical question in my mind is
whether you see yourself as more of a development DBA or a production DBA? I
could see many more opportunities for a development DBA to be involved with
MySQL than a production DBA. Hopefully this won't restart the discussion of
what constitutes each.

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. :)
