[Gllug] MySQL Bashing - was very very cheap hosting

[Ian Norton]

Honestly, Ive been using mysql for about 3 years, it is fast, reliable, quick
to install and easy to backup. Once more it is GPL. 

I've also found that its a very good tool when introducing people to building
thier first applications from source.

I havent heard of any earth shattering events that were caused by a mysql
failure, I accept that things like postgres or oracle might be 'better' but I
dont see why mysql is so 'bad' that people would avoid it like they avoid
windows hosting.
