Sure they both have their sweet spot, but do you really think Oracle never tried to push its db everywhere? One of Oracle's favourite tricks is the Enterprise-wide as-much-as-you-can-deploy license, then come back a few years later and 'discover' the volume deployed is much larger than was originally plannified (because corps do not like supporting diversity, so they'll push same-db everywhere if they can). With mysql Oracle can not inflate its sales anymore, because customers can restrict their Oracle deployments to the apps that really need it (which is far less than people think) Of course Mysql and Oracle compete.
