My experience of MySQL is very recent. I only started using it a few weeks ago. I got great support from the list (Thanks !) when I had an initial problem specific to MySQL VARCHAR....and it's not just Perl and PHP that work. After I had my database created in the command line I downloaded the JDBC drivers and had Java working with the database in about 20 minute....it just worked.
Now I'm off to rip out a commercial database (O***le) and replace it with MySQL. I also just got a copy of MySQLManager (EMS). That makes things very easy. FYI, I am independent, I am not affiliated at all with any company but my own. P/.
