I have searched the archives but have not found an answer to this. Our company is moving from Oracle and is in a determination phase as to its replacement. (Platforms are Windows and Solaris, and better be Linux soon, too.)
1. The primary question/issue here is that with the "complexity" of our databases, Oracle's Intermedia was/is very necessary. IBM evidently offers a similar feature in its db2, which is a frontrunner for our database/RnD people here. How about MySQL? Is there a similar feature/method to InterMedia? Our RnD dba says "we don't want to perform the indexing ourselves". That isn't written in stone, though. Myself, I am a SysAdmin here and not a dba, but am involved in this selection process. I realize this is a small amount of information, but I need to see if we can get around this issue. If more info is needed, I'll gladly give. 2. Secondly, I have seen scripts for migrating from MySQL to Oracle. Is it possible to export an Oracle db to MySQL for even a simple functionality test? (This idea is kind of being dismissed because of the information Oracle includes in its exports, but I'm asking here in case, as I would think you could query and obtain the data as you need). Thanks in advance! If I can be pointed to whitepapers and pertinent links that can help, please do!
