It is totaly useless to compare Oracle vs. MySQL.
Oracle is something you need if you can�t do it with MySQL anymore.
Sure, if you just want to read out some addressbook-data you will not
see a difference...
One of the most important differences: MySQL has no ability for stored
procedures or triggers and useful stuff like that. If you have used some
PL/SQL you will need to rewrite all of it and change the whole
application.
There are some more enterprise-features that are only very rudimentary
implemented in MySQL - if you used Oracle video server you sure will
have a problem :)
Ahhh, also there is something: Be careful with your SQL-Code, if you are
using MySQL, the meaning of SQL-Statements can differ on different
platforms, so test all of it!
Have a nice thread,
Peter
