Why does discussion of databases - possibly the most boring subject on the
planet - always degenerate to name-calling?
MySQL is an excellent solution for a wide range of problems, as are dbm
files and flat files. The developers give the code away for free, and do
not hide the fact that it doesn't support transactions. There's no need for
this kind of vitriol.
