,----[ Quote ]
| Designing a new database is simple using the 
| diagram creation feature, as shown in Figure 
| 3. Just create the tables and columns, and 
| then use the palette to formalize the table 
| relations. This particular diagram indicates 
| two one-to-many relationships formalized 
| between the account table and the state and 
| country tables.

| MySQL was tackled early in the
| presentation. Oracleâs chief corporate
| architect, Edward Screven, said the company
| would integrate MySQL into Oracleâs
| software stack because many of Oracleâs
| large customers use both databases. âI
| think Oracle will do a better job of
| developing MySQL than has been the case
| over the past five years,â he added.
