MySQL and Oracle

Hi Everyone, I'm wondering is there any way we can make MySQL database directly 'talk' with Oracle database? For example, directly transfer data between each other. Thanks for any input.

mysql shuts down overnight

Hi everyone, I got apache 2.0 + MySql 3.23.52 + PHP 4.3.1 on a Redhat 8.0 server. Somehow MySQL automatically shuts down overnight, anyone has a reason for this? Might because of cron? Thanks in advance!
