Google AdWords uses MySQL, so does Wikipedia.

Thanks for the link, some interesting items listed there.

Then again, there are so many conflicting links on the internet. Even many of the references listed on the MySQL wikipedia page doesn't describe/reference the claims they make. :-)

That's the internet for you! Even a 5-year old could be writing those web pages - we would never know. :)

Anyway, there are some ex-Google employees that mention that Google Ads used to use MySQL, then switched to something proprietary (alas with initial speed problems), so now it is unclear what Google actually uses for Google Ads.

I'm still searching for the link regarding the DB backend for Google's Gmail and lots of Facebook content storage. I remember being very interested in this "new database engine" they talked about, but remembered that they did mentioned it was only good for certain types of data.
