Description:
It would be nice to have a possibility to make a database link to or from an Oracle Database. It would provide direct data communication on mysql databases and oracle databases without communication tasks.
This would be a great feature to make mysql more effective in mixed database situations.

How to repeat:
see above (Description)
and : http://www.stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/10g/server.101/b10759/statements_5005.htm

To get a database link from Oracle to MySQL, you can already do this using Oracle's Heterogeneous Services:

It can hook up to MySQL via ODBC..
