MySQL is perfect for sites that need to cluster. If your potential growth does not indicate a need to cluster, I'd stick with CDB, mostly because it's one less point of failure, as well as the fact that there's no networked database with resource locking involved. - -- /* Matt BrookingsGnuPG Key FAE0672C Software developer Systems technician Inter7 Internet Technologies, Inc.
