Hi I think mySQL is ok, as long as you just use it to dump data into it (like firewall logs etc.) and run reports on the data using simple SQL. But mySQL really s$&%cks when it comes to things like subselects, inline views, stored procedure (and I think the last time, a developer asked me something, I noticed that at least the version he was using (3 something) didn't even support views, you had to go with some temporary tables, which do the job, but it's a totally different concept). So be prepared to do things "not the Oracle way". ... and when it comes to transactions (I think ImmoDB tables do support them ok), the main plus about mySQL (maximum speed on low cost hardware) is gone.

How good is the feedback on mySQL handling Queries, Transactions, ConcurrentUserCounts and DatabaseSize ?
