Oracle is taking MySQL in a new direction: introducing an aggressively priced cloud service combining transaction processing and data warehousing, with the bonus of dispensing with ETL.

The second release of MySQL HeatWave adds a dose of machine learning-based automation to optimize performance.

Oracle's MySQL HeatWave Lakehouse allows queries and analytics on data stored outside the database as if that data were stored directly within a database.

MySQL Autopilot uses advanced machine learning techniques to accelerate HeatWave query performance and scalability in Oracle Cloud’s MySQL Database Service.
