I am certainly no expert, not even a DB admin:-\ My non scientific algorithm
when selection of a DB was a question for a small team was as follows:
1) Go to local book store
2) Find section on DB, browse
3) Look for performance tuning of Oracle
4) Find chair quickly when you realize there are libraries on tuning
alone!
5) Look for performance tuning of MySQL
6) Select a book and pay
7) Leave store
In all seriousness I was struck by the apparent complexity in tuning Oracle
when looking through the available literature. In one case I found a series of
7-books. MySQL had a number of book available, all of which seemed reasonable
straight forward and none of which came in a set. As I said, non scientific and
I am not a DB Admin, but for a small group such as mine it was critical to find
something with low overhead.

Subject: needs some info about MySql
Hi,

learnig curve for a new MySql server, I don't have any mysql experience
or knowledge at all. We have one existing mysql server want us to take
over for adminsitrative and maintances. How often mysql needs to be
patching, upgrade? and how it could be for the performance tunig compare
it to ORACLE tuning?
thanks a lot,
Joan
