Hi, I'm new to mysql. Coming from the oracle database a couple of questions came up. Perhaps somebody, who has also experience in oracle, can set me on the tracks.
Questions: 1. is mysql simular organized as oracle: instance/users/tables, so that I have to connect to chossen instance and user? 2. does mysql also use the term tablespace and can it administrated in the same way? 3. when creating a mysql database, how to determine where the datafiles are located? 4. is there something like a init.ora? 5. is it possible to start several databases from the same installation? 6. is there something like ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID? Hope you can give me details prepared for a newbie and point me to the suitable commands or docs.
