[vox-tech] oracle -> MySQL conversion

Hi Dylan,

Have you considered postgres (please <> insert holy war here)?  You'll get
support for some extra features like triggers, stored procedures, etc...

There are tools to help convert the data and the schema

Look on this page for "Oracle":
http://techdocs.postgresql.org/

Also, I know there are commercial tools to move from oracle to mysql:

Hope it helps.
