I have mysql on my linux box and i am trying to pratice Oracle db admin stuff on it for class. But i found that some of the commands are different like number isnt the same as it is in mysql and the command to link a primary key and a foriegn key isnt the same either. So what i am really asking is what other versions of sql are there that i could load that works more closly to the Oracle db structure?
i've not tried postgresql but i believe it's somewhat more powerful than mysql - which i have used, and has been ok for what i wanted to do. i have a nagging feeling that mysql doesn't (or didn't) support foreign keys..
