Why would you use anything else?
Mysql:
- Never crashes
- Has more tested/reliable replication than anything else, possibly including Oracle (haven't tried the wacky 3rd party replication things like Goldengate or whatever, and don't believe in spending 6 figures on software licenses in general).
- Supports SELECT, INSERT and UPDATE
Why would I get anything else for a database? For more complicated stuff I have another approach that I employ called "programming".
- CoffeeDregs 15y agoWe're a bit off-topic, but... Transactions on DDL, a lack of tons of gotchas, good replication, partial indexes, document orientation and querying, a pretty query language, ripping speed, horizontal scalability, a history of good architecture, consistent hashing, etc are reasons to select something other than MySQL.
