I misunderstood Nuno's post. Yes, you are right, MySQL has nothing like 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 don't need it", but I haven't finished my 2nd cup of coffee yet), then MySQL is a formidable competitor.
