First thing, ferrari engines are not always used in race tracks. U do get
ferrari road cars that u can drive on delhi roads. It is a different matter
that u wud be extremely irritated when u drive a sports car during the rush
hours in delhi roads :D Also my experience with delhi roads tells me that if
u don't follow the speed limit (BTW: I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS, but..) then
with a ferrari in delhi, u may reach your destination faster (though it may
as well be never).
Now comes the part abt why use oracle when mysql can do the same things.
There can be various reasons for this. One being performence. Oracle does
tend to perform very well if tuned and used properly, same is the case with
MySQL, but in my experience i have seen more ppl who are experts at
optimizing Oracle than there are ppl who can optimize MySQL properly.
Features is another reason. Stored procedures are something that are missing
from MySQL, and any1 who has used a rdbms wud know abt the benefits of using
stored procedures :) There are lots of other reasons.. (like for e.q. i
might be getting Oracle for free, or your dba knows only oracle , etc)
