Oracle is an enterprise level commercial Database Management System ie. $$$ where MySQL is an Open Source alternative designed mainly for web application uses (although this may change with their partnership with SAP). These DBMS's can be used within servlets and JSP's by using the appropriate JDBC driver. I believe the current release of Oracle is 9iR2, if you have a requirement to use Oracle you would want to look into using that version but it isn't just a download and install type affair, there are licenses to worry about and the actual install can be a real pain at times. Do you want to just use a database backend for your web application? In that case you're best of with MySQL or PostgresSQL depending on what sort of featureset you require.
