MySQL is a joke that just doesn't want to disappear - sadly.
If you want reliable, easy to maintain and open-source, then go for
Firebird. PostgreSQL is also a good choice, but takes a bit more effort
to tune before it gives good performance.

In summary: It simply disregards your data.

Hi Fred,
In my humble opinion, that score is not so relevant. MySQL still has a
large usage as database server for web sites. If you ask the pascal
programmers, you might get a different score. License wise, I think
Firebird and PostgreSQL are the safest bets for commercial applications. At
least, PostgreSQL covers anything a corporate client might need. Firebird
remains for medium applications and SQLite for individual and small
applications.
