For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))

MySQL is characterised as a RDBMS that has a slimmer feature set than many database engines to provide a blistering performance.  It will also ... err .... cost you a lot less than Oracle.

MySQL release 4 has just moved from a Gamma to a production release in the last few days, and release 4 is an enabling release to re-write some of the  underlying code in order to start adding additional facilities - some (but not all) of the things you mention are here already or coming.  BUT .... I don't think that MySQL will ever include everything that's available in Oracle.

If you're looking to write portable code that can run across many databases, MySQL is a great sample database to develop under; you don't need a heavy cpu to run it, and you can be more sure that facilities that you use in your code will easily port to Oracle (or SQL Server or some other system) than you could the other way around
