Well it is a matter of safety. Some data that I have on Oracle will be available for users via WWW (mysql+apache+php). I don't want them to have access to Oracle so I wanted to have that data replicated on Mysql.
I just want to have data from 2 tables from Oracle database to be part of my mysql database. I think the only way for me is to write a php script which will simply copy data from one RDBMS to another.
