Remember MySQL is a crippled database, thus comparing it to crippled pay-for commercial offerings is completely fair. Both are meant to be tasters as to what can be offered by a proper, fully fledged database.

On the bright side, pretty much all of Oracle's stuff is free for development use.

Developers, developers, Developers, DEVELOPERS.

It's not just for Microsoft anymore.

Hey! I'm an armature enthusiast!

Yup! My favorite is the armature from my grandpappy's 1932 Ford Pickup's starter! The one from Dad's Edsel almost took it, but I'll stick with the older choice.
