The enterprise grid computing provides manages information and applications in the most flexible and cost-effective way.
It is a multi-model database management system commonly used for doing operations such as OLTP, data warehousing or storehouse and mixed database workloads.
In Oracle DB, collection of data is treated as a unit. A database is used to store and retrieve related information. A database server is used as a key to solving the problems of information management.
A large amount of data is managed by servers in a multiuser environment that enables many users to access the same data simultaneously, with delivering high performance. A database server provides efficient solutions for failure recovery and also prevents unauthorized access.
There are 4 types of Oracle DB editions available these are:
Enterprise Edition:
The most secured and robust edition, provides all features like security and superior performance.
Standard Edition:
For users who do not need edition of Enterprise robust package, it offers the basic functionality to them.
Express Edition :

It is specially designed for mobile or smart devices.
What is MySQL?
MySQL is a free as well as open source Relational Database Management System(RDBMS). MYSQL name comprises of “My” + “SQL” where it is named after the name of co-founder Michael Widenius daughter and “SQL”, which is the short form of structured query language. It is owned by Oracle Corporation. It runs virtually on all platforms, and in addition on Linux, UNIX, and Windows.
MySQL is used widely for all applications but although most often associated with online publishing and web applications. It is an essential part of an open source stack of enterprise known as LAMP.
LAMP is the platform for web development which uses Apache as the web server, Linux, the operating system, MySQL as the known relational database management system and PHP, the object-oriented scripting language. (Python or Perl is used in replacement of PHP sometimes.)
MySQL is totally based on the popular model namely client-server model. All the instruction of database (or commands) are handled by the MySQL server. It is used a separate program in a networked environment of client-server and can be indulged (or linked) as a library into separate applications. SQL statements are being sent by these interfaces and results are displayed to server of database.

MySQL has only 3 parameters for authentication of the user holding account and his/her information such as username, password, and Location.

Extra Features |
Oracle has different authentication programs on its server of database such as Active Data Guard, Audit Vault, Partitioning, and Data Mining, etc. |
Features such as Audit Vault on its server. MySQL never support these extra features |
|
Storage |
Oracle have its own Tablespace, management system, screenshots, synonym and packages and automatic management of storage.
|
MySQL doesn’t have such storage features
|

Oracle is an Object Relational Database Management System(ORDBMS) |
MySQL is an Open Source Relational Database Management System(RDBMS) |
|
Customizability |
Oracle is a closed source so it does not offer Customizability |
In MySQL a programmer can modify MySQL to suit the individual requirements thus MySql offers great customizability as compared to Oracle |
