I know a lot of people always seem to be complaining that mysql is not powerful enough in a production environment, specially the people with large websites complaining that it is not scalable enough. Personally, I feel that that is not the case in most instances. Only a very little amount of people ever have to deal with these issues and mysql is performs really well for rapid development, which, in most cases is what people want and need to get their idea up and ready.
