Re: [MLUG] Oracle v. MySQL

["Vern Green" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

In research I looked into before, I would not recommend it, but others here will certainly have strong opinions about this and I am not going to get into it much more than this.

 

There is nothing about what you mentioned here that would rule out MySQL, you might want to look at the number of records in those tables and the space each table needs.

I doubt you would have a problem if you are using Linux.

 

The real answer I guess is that you would just need to load it up and see how it performs.

We have a lot of data -- apparently about 9,000 tables in an RDBMS.  It's
in Oracle now.  As a fan of open source solutions, I would prefer to use
MySQL or other open source RDBMS, but at what cost?  Before I even
consider moving data to MySQL from Oracle, I want to know what Oracle can
do that MySQL (or other FOSS product) cannot do.  Have any of you studied
this or do you know of any reasonably serious comparative research or
reviews?  Thanks.
