Rovira i Virgii University use mySQL

Today, after few days of conversations, the lecturer of the Databases and Databases Introduction subjects in URV said to me that he decided to use MySQL for doing the Practice Tasks of the mentioned subjects from now onwards and install that software in the Laboratory's computers.
As far as I'm concerned, the database used until now was a version of Oracle Server, but he said that 'it isn't the best tool for developing and learning at same time'. ;-)
I think that it is a great piece of news for our community!
