I like the bicycle analogy. But just me, I would not take a bike if I could take a Benz. I think this is a sentiment shared by most of the folks here....
That's the thing... yes you can do anything with <pick your choice of technology>. But you may not want to... "One solution that fits the most" I heartily agree with. The trouble is that some advocate MySQL as the be-all, end-all Oracle replacement. That's crazy talk. MySQL often mentions 80% of the functionality of Oracle -- what's more accurate is 80% of the base functionality. If that's all you need, then great! but if your business depends on the 20%, not so great... my past experience with MySQL InnoDB storage engine was that concurrency is not that good, you can deadlock the database. MyISAM was far, far worse. That's pretty basic functionality I think.
