A limited-user version of Oracle is better than MySQL (which is released
under a restrictive license _and_ is an unstable, broken PoS).

I have an assortment of databases scattered around my network, including
postgresql and oracle. The only one I ever have any problem with is the
MySQL instance that exists solely to serve the Mythbox.

Oracle wouldn't be my first choice, but it'd be way, way higher up the
list than MySQL.
