A press release isn't data. I'd be interested in seeing the comparative results of the trials CERN put Oracle through.

It's not that I don't believe that Oracle can scale better than MySQL, it's just that I haven't seen any convincing data that it can scale so much better that it's worth the cost. I'm no expert, so maybe the data exists. I just haven't seen it.
