By the way... it's consensus amongst experts that MySQL has hit
nearly end-of-life.  If you're starting a new project, use PostgreSQL
instead.  A real Database... not a database wannabe.

The only reason to use MySQL these days is ignorance or legacy.



Hey, is this right? I respect Randal quite a bit but he has expressed a bias towards PostgreSQL. I'm studying MySQL and the vast majority of LAMP jobs I see still call for an expertise in MySQL. Am I wasting my time? Should I abandon Perl and go with PHP as well?
