Bamboo is AFAIK not completely MySQL compatible. 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.
