Rich,
You sure do. Looks a lot like Oracle, behaves a lot like Oracle, has a = lot of differences though as well.

MySQL *can* be a competitor for Oracle, but it needs to mature a LOT =3D before it becomes <insert buzzword here>-ready. That being said, my =3D e-mail from home runs off of MySQL. :)
I still think PostreSQL is out in front of MySQL for features at least. =
=3D
I really need to install that one of these days...

I misunderstood Nuno's post. Yes, you are right, MySQL has nothing like =
=3D
clustering.
As for competing with oracle, it doesn't necessarily have to be on =3D
technical
merits, it can compete on the price. If you don't need RAC (I believe it =
=3D
was Cary
who wrote an article with the title like "What is RAC and why you =3D
probably=3D20
don't need it", but I haven't finished my 2nd cup of coffee yet), then =
=3D
MySQL is
a formidable competitor.
