Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Oracle vs. MySQL
i think it was summed up with "you get what you pay for." if you want something to play with and learn or have non-mission critical business app, it's fine.

Subject: RE: Oracle vs. MySQL
Hi, Ross,
I've got some experience with both
1. You dont have transaction (until the very recent versions, at least) 2. You dont have fererential integrity (FK is declared but not enforced) 3. Dont have views 4. Noting like PL/SQL 5. Reader blocks writer 6. Weak type support, for example can put 123456 to the number(1) field -further migration to Oracle may give you some pain Bright side it's fast (beats Oracle sometimes) and free.
Regards,
Vadim Gorbounov
Oracle DBA ( not mySQL:) )

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.
