And if you go to their web site www.mysql.com, they "crash me" compare against Oracle 8.1.6 and damn, they appear to look good. "They gots lots more green stars than Oracle, by george." Of course most of those categories are SQL functions/capabilities. They don't even touch on memory allocation, types of backups/archiving, so on and so forth. And of course the lack of column constraints,table constraints, foreign keys...<tsk> just noise. Wait!! Dammit Oracle!! Give me the tinyint type! MySQL has it!
