OK
Well as you know MySQL has less bells and whistles vs oracle. This makes it
very fast.
The other thing with MySQL is that it is very reliable. The last thing is
that it can deal with very big databases.
So if you need a very fast DB but not all the stuff of oracle MySQL is you
database.
We use it for authenticating users and getting data to and from web pages.
You can even get it to transfer a database to oracle and back.
And it just feels a bit more grown up than Access...;o)
I hope this helps a bit?

Subject: MySQL vs Oracle vs Acess
Hi
This is a very generic quesiton and I would appreciate
any info. I am an Oracle dba; our developers are now
using access for their own small projects. When these
projects grow and become too large for Access we move
them to Oracle. The developers are now considering
switching from Access to MySQL and I'm trying to
figure out what are the advantages of that move. I
have read some documentation and it looks like a big
advantage of
MySQL vs Access is multi-user access. There are also
some features that are present in Oracle but missing
in My SQL like views, subqueries and a few other. I
was wondering if someone who has working experience in
both Access and MYSQL (or ORacle and MySQL) could
expand on the differences from practical standpoint.
Thanks for any input
