I'm just going to add one more - MySQL is a lot faster than Oracle. Because
it doesn't support transactions and so on. Does it mean it's better? That
depends, the same way PHP versus Asp.Net depends. You're trading off
features for speed and most of the time it's those features that are going
to make your life a lot easier.
