Delusions of grandure...
Please, it may work for *YOU* but MySQL is the very last thing I would be using if I had a DB serverw ith 5000 people relying on it each minute of the day.

MySQL has its place, however, if you think that it can compete with Oracle or DB2, then you're sadly mistaken.

As for DB2, I can't wait till it starts to crush MS SQL and for customers to say, "yeah, we would run MS SQL but it lacks [features] and it only runs on Windows, which is useless as our server runs [flavour of *BSD/*NIX]"
