analytics mysql was horrible for that, eventually bogging down to the point it was breaking the system down. Storing was ok. Analyzing emphatically was not. And no amount of testimonies will counter that MySQL has a lot of fundamentally broken assumptions when it comes to data structure and relations. I mean it works if you don't mind handling that at higher levels, and sometimes that's a good call. And sometimes it's not.
