MySQL is a very nice database package, but is missing some features that folks might take for granted in larger and/or commercial packages. They are furiously adding new features, but I would check the doc to make sure that any feature set that you are expecting in a relational database is available. Specifically check for things like triggers, full inner and outer joins, current language compliance, on-line backup, recoverability... You get the picture, make your own list, rate their importance to you and see if those features are available. If they are not available, see if they are under development or are on the big list of 'things-to-do'.
