Post #20,025 by wharris2 12/3/01 12:47:34 AM Reply	Re: MySQL vs Oracle question I've got a project that will cost about $80,000 in Oracle licensing, and we would like to avoid that. I can appreciate that. Now the question: Do I need a Sun/Oracle front end, or can I use Intel Linux/MySQL or Sun/MySQL? Wrong question. I think MySQL can handle this volume, but the real question is: Is the data vital, does it need to be correct, or are you OK with occasional wrong answers? MySQL does not, currently, as I understand it, guarantee correctness of data updates, storage, and retrieval. If data is largely static and isn't updated often, MySQL may be OK.
