Hi,
we use mysql here for our whole site.
there are up to 500 inserts/second alone from the stockdata-feed and thats
only part
of our site and about 200-300 selects/second per machine.
in combination with replication (3.23.xx) you can near to limitlessly
scale (if you have limitless money for slave-machines).
we tried oracle and it was far too slow for us. mysql made our test about 30
times faster.
fazit:
if you do not use sub-selects, foreign keys and triggers or store some very
touchy personal data
i suggest using mysql.
Regards

Betreff: mySQL vs Oracle
Dear mySQL Users,
I am trying to choose between mySQL and Oracle for a Linux server. My
specific questions are:
1) Will mySQL handle 3000 hits/day well?
2) Does mySQL handle multi-media file formats? For example, if I want to
store audio clips, or Flash movie clips, or PowerPoint presentations,
can I do so?
We make the decision this decision at 3:00 today. Your advice will be
most helpful.
Thanks,
Ann
