Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: MySQL vs. Oracle database
In our testing the Berkeley table types were hopelessly slow and bloated,
taking up much more space than MyISAM or InnoDB table types.
We had more success with the InnoDB table type, and will be implementing them some time in the future. InnoDB supports referential integrity.
The table types aren't really a special component; they're implemented via an argument when the source is compiled.

By default MySQL has no transactions
You have to add special component to access "transactional safe tables"
called Berkeley db tables. You can commit and rollback on only these
tables. For others every wrong (not syntactically, but for example
inserting characters into number column) insert and update will succeed. If
MySQL cannot insert provided values it uses default values.
One of the biggest pains is (maybe was, I don't know about MySQL 4.xxx) that it has no foreign keys :((((((((((((
I have created class diagramms for both Oracle and Mysql servers for my
studies in University. It cannot be treated as feature comparison but just
simple overview of these two images will show the situation i.e. compare
object count on these images :-)
And I have to say that Oracle diagramm isn't complete!

I have not been so much with MySQL , But want to share my experience.
Firstly , it is very fast ...This makes me suspicious , I wonder if it is
trusted to be integral .
Seem like no control ..Does not contain rollbacks , may be this .. Then how
does it rollback ?
I have used a version where stored procs ,functions are unavailable .. Wonder if it has now..
