I actually agree with Joose; the lack of wizards in MySQL is very disturbing.
OK. Bad joke. But I do agree; I think there are situations where MySQL is not the solution. As it happens nested queries have only just been introduced, which is kind of a nice feature to have. Not required - but nice.
And MySQL seems to be not completely relational. I don;t know why one would want that, but maybe it's important for some applications.
And an XML database (Xindice?) is probably preferable when you only have to do with XML data.
MySQL, though, is a nice database to just store data in:) It has all the
features I need, and it's fast enough. It has good docs, and a fairly
good jdbc driver. That's all I ask. But I wouldn't be surprised that
DB2 or Oracle scale better when dealing with huge (terabytes/petabytes) databases and heavy access.
