+1. I've used MySQL (and msql before that) for the last 12 or 13
years. I still use it on several projects. Properly configured (and
that means not using the default configuration), MySQL is great and
most if not all of the problems mentioned in this thread are solved.
It is a good tool with a vast and excellent community, and very very
good support options (like Percona) but it also has a lot of sharp
edges that can cut you if you make a mistake.

As soon as PostgreSQL native replication gets a bit more production
testing, I'll probably switch all the new project to it, and will
consider migrating some of the old ones too.

Bye,
