This is an open source .. No licensing cost to pay. This itself is big thing even there are not many features like Oracle RAC, But you can manage all that with multiple servers and load balancing features. Provides Gui with Command Prompt. Supports the administration using MySQL Admin,MySQL Query Browser. Latest version supports stored procedures and functions. The best things is runs in windows and Unix/Linux.

compared to Oracle MySql is easy to install as MySql takes split of second to install and it has other features like case insensitivity, MySql has query browsers and those can also be used for Oracle
