MySQL *can* be a competitor for Oracle, but it needs to mature a LOT =
before it becomes <insert buzzword here>-ready. That being said, my =
e-mail from home runs off of MySQL. :)
I still think PostreSQL is out in front of MySQL for features at least. = I really need to install that one of these days...

clustering.
As for competing with oracle, it doesn't necessarily have to be on =
technical
merits, it can compete on the price. If you don't need RAC (I believe it =
was Cary
who wrote an article with the title like "What is RAC and why you =
probably=20
don't need it", but I haven't finished my 2nd cup of coffee yet), then =
MySQL is
a formidable competitor.
