It's coming, but Bamboo has a lot of heavily optimized queries on Postgres and I've got to try and do the same with MySQL. Some of these queries use standard SQL that just isn't available in MySQL, so it's not a "tell Bamboo it's running on MySQL" type of problem.
Elephant should pose no problems when running on MySQL. You might see a quirk here or there, but I highly doubt it. It was built a little differently with lesser emphasis on break-neck speed and heavy-load stability and more emphasis on simplicity and portability. But with any RIFE app speed and stability are still there in spades. The developers who wrote Bamboo and Elephant just don't use MySQL in production and so it wasn't a major feature that was considered for the initial development. Unfortunately, because we don't use MySQL, support for it in Bamboo will lag performance-wise compared to PostgreSQL because of the optimization sessions that were done on a heavy-load site running on top of Postgres. As with any open-source project, if you feel the speed of development isn't up to where you would like it to be, you can certainly help out and do some of the development yourself. I would be more than happy to help and direct you where to go and what to change. With that said, development on Bamboo is continuing and MySQL support is something we value for it's continued growth as an open-source project.
