Hiya Clayton,
Try it with a few hundred thousand tuples in a good size table with
say 300 users banging on the box. MySQL is a nice substitute for
Access but that's about it.
Not to mention missing features: views and foreign keys for
example...and have a look at the API...yuck. I always hear people
complain (MySQL fans) about Pg not having DROP COLUMN in its SQL
implementation. To me a VIEW is slightly more important. ;-)
(Trying hard not to be obnoxious here but failing. Comparing MySQL
to Pg is like comparing windows to BSD...and I just can't apologise
for calling it like I see it!)
Cheers!
