It is closer to interface behaviour than Oracles'. For example tool PL/SQL Developer asks me "Are you sure you want to delete all records?" for statement "delete bla", most probable it is configurable, but actually I don't care :) Also there is one big difference for Oracle and MySQL (at least MyISAM tables) - for Oracle (normally, without some kind of autocommit) one has to issue commit, for MySQL not, so transactions actually are some kind of verification.
