It's one thing when we're talking about facebook. It's entirely another matter when we're talking about a large bank. Do you want your bank to use mysql to store your financial data? Regarding the importance of money, look at the existing infrastructure in financial institutions. They spend millions of dollars a year on mainframes from IBM. The cost of oracle compared to this is relatively low. We're talking about two entirely different markets and applications of "databases" here. The claim of SQL db's not scaling is not true.
