MySQL, Oracle and their Marriage

During Collaborate 11, the biggest IOUG conference, I'll be presenting on MySQL, Oracle and their integration in a session called: "Integrating MySQL and Oracle: The Journey of a Transaction". 

Apart from the usual self-promotion about a speaking engagement, this time I'd like to make the session interactive. I'd love if you could add your comments on the challenges you find integrating the two products and on the hints you might want to share. I'll do all my best to address your concerns during my lecture, at the MySQL community dinner (see Sheri's post below) or in a blog post after the event.

See you in the sunny Florida!
Luca
