MySQL
Everyone says MySQL is not perfect at the moment, especial when it comes to large scale websites.
What are the negative issues currently associated with it? thanks |
Microsoft doesn't like it because companies like Amazon and Google and a large portion of most of the web sites of the world successfuly use mySQL (instead of buying licenses for Microsoft SQL Server).
Oracle used to feel the same way - then they bought the company that bought mySQL. I'm not sure how they feel now :-) If MySQL does what you want, then it's probably going to be ideal. I would simple Google and read about different major RDBMS's (Oracle, DB-2, SQL Server, PostgressSql, mySQL); read about other major DB solutions (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_database) and then make up your own mind what suits your needs. There is no absolute "SQL Server is better than mySQL"; or vice versa. IMHO .. PSM |
Everyone should also have a motivation/reasoning when they say so. Read them and you'll know. If they don't give a reason, it's nonsense.
Note that I don't say that MySQL is good or bad (it suites my limited needs). |
