in thread [OT] Why I don't use Mysql for new projects

There are certainly some big mysql success stories, but they tend to be in applications that aren't just that fussy about things like data integrity. Google is a case in point: they're doing really well with replicated myisam tables, but if something weird happened to the data no one is likely to even notice. It's not like, say, handling banking transactions.
