RE: Oracle vs. MySQL

I did not look at the site. In the past the MYSQL comparison was pretty shoddy. If a MYSQL had a function, smallest, and another database had a function, least, which did the exact same thing, the database wit the "least" function would not get credit for it. I fabricated the above example, but the gist of the statment was true a few years ago.

You can't do subqueries in mySQL
You can't use derived tables in mySQL
The foreign key support is defined as not being "Full", don't know what that means.

The comparisons look good for MySQL...
not bad for others, but better for
mySQL than some comments by some
folks on the list would have led me
to believe.

Anyone here have major gripes about
mySQL that oracle solved?

Interesting site...

Since I am not familiar with some of the other databases, are all the ones listed there 3 versions old or just Oracle? I noticed DB2 was 2 versions old.
