MySQL is a fast, lightweight SQL engine. Great for many web-based
apps. It doesn't have all the features of PostgreSQL or a heavyweight such
as Oracle or DB2, but what it does it does very well (and did I mention
that it's fast ...)
You have to match the product to the scope of your solution. If it fits,
use it. If it falls short, use something else.
I look at MySQL as a kind of DOS FoxPro replacement for Linux. I got a lot
of mileage out of FoxPro in the past, even though it wasn't an enterprise
dbms. Same with MySQL today.
