There is a world of difference between'em.

We use both here, Oracle for our large, active customers, and MySQL for our smaller customers, to avoid as much as possible having to pay Oracle's ridiculous licensing fees. Our smaller customers don't need Oracle's scalability and reliability, and MySQL works well for'em.

Check out http://www.mysql.com. Lots of information on MySQL there, and it's a good start to understanding what MySQL can and can't do, compared to Oracle.

What is different between MySQL and Oracle database? Someone says they are the same as they are just database. From DBA or developer point of view, what do you say?

Thanks,
David
