Hi,

First, please do not prioritize any emails to a mailinglist. It might be
"high priority " to you, it isn 't for the mailinglist readers who are
supposed to respond. It 's not good mailinglist-etiquette.

MySql or not

Of course this highly depends on your application needs. MySQL
does have transactions and foreign keys with the InnoDB table
type, but doesn 't have CHECK constraints.

It also doesn 't have triggers, or a stable (MySQL 5 is in early
Alpha) Stored Procedure implementation. So if you 're using those,
you 're out of luck or you need to convert them to application
code or middle tier code.

As far as I know, it also doesn 't have automatic build in scheduling,
so if you 're using Oracle jobs, you need to work around that too.

Are there any specific things you want to know about?

Read the docs on column types, automatic type conversions
and this one as well:
