When going through the PostgreSQL or any other database mailing list I keep seeing "MySQL". It is absolutely DISGUSTING. These people think they have a real database.
MySQL is a SQL like interface to grep but nothing more. This has nothing to do with REAL databases.
People who are working with REAL data don't use MySQL at ALL. They use SAP DB, DB2, Oracle, or PostgreSQL or whatever but why does everybody torture us with MySQL?
I thought this was the only mailing list which is not POLLUTED with MySQL.
This is YOUR!!! SQL and not MY SQL.
In case of MySQL: MySQL is cheap AND worth nothing..
Guys, let's stick to SAP DB and PostgreSQL :) .
Greetings from a NON POLLUTED office somewhere in Vienna ...

My god, what have you been smoking kid?
...-...!??When you started talking about 'real world' I assumed that you meant real databases, not some toy like mysql.
MySQL is an RDBMS, nothing more, nothing less.
MySQL doesn't offer much features like referencial contraints etc. which a _real_ database _should_ have!
it's not a toy, but a much simpler database.
I guess what I'm saying is: "If you think mysql isn't garbage, then you don't know the first thing about what databases are good for and you should probably just keep using mysql".
MySQL should only be used, if there is a reason to use it!
In the past these reasons were:
1. it's cheap (other enterprise-dbs are too expensive - but now there's SAPDB!!!)
2. it's popular because it is cheap (if it's popular to jump out of a window i wouldn't do that either, would you?)
3. it's cheap
4. it's not expensive
5. and finally: it's cheap
