I guess it depends what the code is written in. If the application is based on a lot of Oracle Stored Procedures then you would have to port those stored procedures to a language suitable for MySQL.
If the application was written in Java or Perl using JDBC or DBI then porting the application would be easier. However, you would still have to take into consideration the limitations of MySQL when porting the code like: no views, no subqueries (until 4.1), and things like that. Does that make sense to you?

If an application is developed in Oracle is there a special language for development with Oracle dbs? I understand that oracle db can be migrated to a MySQL db. If an app is already developed using oracle is there anyway of migrating this code to mysql code?
