As you found - there is not nearly as much overlap as you think. Next time, please don't waste our time on Oracle questions. This is a MySQL newsgroup. I, for one, wasted a bit of time trying to figure out what you wanted before giving you an intermediate response. Where do I send the bill?
And I'm sure others wasted some time trying to figure out exactly what you wanted, also.
Oracle has its own support.
