Just to make it difficult for people to migrate to Oracle, the only
documentation that we provide for the PASSWORD() function algorithm is the
source :-)
On a serious note, what is it that makes MySQL not good enough for your
application that you have to migrate to Oracle? If it already works, you have
found your way around the lack of sub-queries and enforced referential
integrity. Performance wise, MySQL is much faster on the same hardware in
most cases. Perhaps you could consider convincing your management that you
will get better value of your money if you just purchase MySQL support.
