I am still waiting for a clear explanation as to why developers still use MySQL!

The beast keeps growing. While this is just a beta at this stage, there
are a couple of things to look forward to:
- Savepoints inside transactions: So that you don't have to rollback
the entire transaction
- Point-in-time recovery: Recover to a certain point in time
- Separate disk storage using table spaces: Put one database on one
partition and another on a different one, without using symbolic links
and such.
- Change column types using ALTER TABLE: Odd one this. What happens to
the data if I change from varchar to int4??
- Server Runs on Win32: On WinNT based systems (WinNT/2000/XP) for the
first time ever. (Not sure if this should matter much, but its been a
bit of a gap!)
All in all noteworthy improvements to what is quite a mature and flexible RDBMS.
