Heh. Even I wouldn't go that far. MySQL may sometimes fly by the seat
of its pants sometimes when it comes to looking after your data, but
it is still a database. Just one that's unsuited for a lot of the
things for which many people are currently using it. It has its place,
and there are times when it's the right choice. But 99 times out of
100, I'd be picking PostgreSQL instead...
