So, to sum up the pros and cons we heard in the discussion:

FOR MySQL
- Free

So is PG, FrontBase, and others so no a major Pro

- Easy to setup and configure

Uh, it does not work correctly out of the box so I think this is a con


- Clustering engine
- Easy reliable replication

Those two are really the only Pros that I can see for it. Those are the only things that would make me use it



AGAINST MySQL
- Lack of deferred constraints
- Lack of transactional DDL (roll back failing migrations for example). As Mike pointed out, neither does Oracle, so not alone there.
- need to carefully configure it to get it to work correct
