Can you provide some citations to this claim? I know a lot of people who understand ACID, Foreign Keys, and have experience with other DBs (like PostgreSQL) and still often choose MySQL based on its merits.
- jiggy2011 14y agoI think he is talking about "people who use mysql only because it was the easiest thing to learn" don't know these things, not "experienced DBAs/devs who happen to be using MySQL".
- spudlyo 14y agoYeah, he's not talking about DBAs who work at Facebook, Yahoo, YouTube, Wikipedia or Twitter. Just because half the Alexa top 10 uses MySQL in production doesn't mean it's not just used by non-technical noobs who don't know any better.
