As I have mentioned before, we are moving new development from Oracle to MySQL. Pretty much a no brainer. Two database instances at $5K per server for MySQL vs. around $100K for the same thing with Oracle.

 

Looking at the syntax, it is very similar to SQL Server, both in datatypes and functions. No sequences (autoincrement fields instead), CURDATE() instead of SYSDATE() (obviously).
