Guys, why rely on MySQL? It is well known (and well documented) that MySQL is a VERY weak database.
For instance, see this link.... http://benchw.sourceforge.net/benchw_results_open3.html On any meaningful workload (especially with large objects), Postgres is faster, and it's way less buggy. Save yourselves the trouble, and use a real DB. I'm not in any way connected to Postgres, but it just kills me to see perfectly good projects rendered almost useless by a bad choice of backend DB. I also hear that JBoss has some sort of special deal with MySQL (they are planning to use MySQL to back their portal for the jboss.org website), and I would like to point out that this is not wise. Wikipedia (less than a month ago) came very close to losing everything (modulo tape backups) because they used MySQL, which isn't truly ACID. Sorry about the rant, but friends don't let friends trust their data to MySQL.
