Does mysql support object datatypes as in Oracle?

ex..
This is the object (This is the SQL I need)

-- CREATE TYPE PERSON_TYPE AS OBJECT(bodyheight INTEGER, shoesize INTEGER)


This is where I want to use the object.
CREATE TABLE ACTIVITY (
CM_User_ID VARCHAR(40),
name VARCHAR(40),
customer VARCHAR(40),
description VARCHAR(40),
person PERSON_TYPE);


Thanks in advance. :)
 
No, they dont. But its a big difference in pricing between Oracle and mySql. And also, objects as in Oracle is not standard sql.
