My entire site (www.vampired.net) is mySQL driven, the articles, scripts, all content is dynamic via PHP and mySQL. It is a great database if you are doing something like what I have done, but if your building an application, it generally isn't a good choice.

It does not have transaction support, limited procedure I believe they have now, no pk/fk, no locking, and no logging for recovery. Although some of these things are not needed in some projects, some are.

But it is VERY quick.

Hi.

does anyone know anything about MySQL? I was assigned to a pilot to see whether this is something my company would want to use. Does anyone use it? Any good/bad opinions?

TIA Gene
