If MySql continues as planned, I think Oracle will
find it a force to be reckoned with, much as MS
has discovered to be true about Linux.
Of course by that time, according to the latest IT business intelligence as seen in Computer World, most of our jobs will have been outsourced by then, and it wont' matter much.

Subject: 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. :)
