Well, I use mySQL when I need super fast, single table,
db's.... looking through the speed tests, it's easier to see
_when_ a db is a good fit for a given task, and when it's not.
Sometimes it's even more effective to have data replication to
different db vendors built in programmatically, as I sure wouldn't
want to build a massive multi-tiered inventory system in mySQL, but
if that same system needed to quickly retrieve prices from a flat
360K-row table, I'd stick the pricing info in mySQL to get, well,
fast table scanning.
