MySQL currently has serious limitations for many RDBMS uses. Concurrent performance under industry-standard benchmarks in one indicator. I my previous conversations with Monty, anytime I brought up the subject of multiuser benchmarks, he consistently stated that the single-user case was more important, as that's how the current (as of the last time I looked) MySQL 'benchmarks' are structured. Concurrent benchmarking, with a real-world mix of queries (such as AS3AP and TPC-C), is far more useful to those who are using an RDBMS for more than just a web backend. Although, it is a useful average indicator of web backend performance as well. And I have to note that SourceForge switched for performance reasons. Seems there was a great deal of Postgres-bashing from the MySQL side not long ago..... -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11
