I think Oracle has a better memory management, data management, and caching system than mysql. > Did you change the logic of your program and changed > the specification in oracle? There was no change in the logic. However the facility of subqueries in Oracle did reduce the no of requests. > BTW what is the cost of oracle on Linux?

Yes, Mysql is free but Oracle (Single CPU 5 User license) also does not cost hell lot of money. The Mysql System with apache has 256 MB RAM and The Oracle machine is 128 MB, both on a PIII 500 MHz, 20 GB EIDE HDD. The same database the same table structure, approx 2 lakh records in one table ( a user registration table) which is used to store User details. If 10 user register on the site simultaneously the mysql server almost freezes. [I mean to say that the mouse barely moves on that machine] and when I am testing the same with oracle I does that happily. What do you say. Kapil Sethi System Administrator BharatConnect Ltd.
