I said to avoid mysql if atall possible. I also said it was a memory hog.
The relationship of the two statements (do one because of the other), was

didn't setup the drupal setup.

There are many fine reasons for avoiding mysql, many. I personally avoid
it at all possible opportunities, I don't like it's attemps at clustering.
