Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Clash of the DBs in eWeek
And if you go to their web site www.mysql.com, they "crash me" compare
against Oracle 8.1.6 and damn, they appear to look good. "They gots lots
more green stars than Oracle, by george." Of course most of those
categories are SQL functions/capabilities. They don't even touch on memory
allocation, types of backups/archiving, so on and so forth. And of course
the lack of column constraints,table constraints, foreign keys...<tsk> just
noise. Wait!! Dammit Oracle!! Give me the tinyint type! MySQL has it!
...maybe I'm just being fussy....

Also the article did not mention that in a lot of ways, MySQL is not nearly ready for prime time...
