I really think you should take a second look at MySQL. Also - thanks for giving the blog another try. If you have any problems, let me know. I’d like to ditto Squiggy.

I have friends that are <b>very</b> good DBAs and use MySQL, but most of the MySQL users I've come across as a consultant use it because they don't know what they're missing, either from a technology standpoint or technique standpoint. If they added Sequences to MySQL, I might consider using it more, though. Once you get used to having them, it's hard to want to design with AUTONUMBER or Identity fields to generate your primary key values.

I think the project leader's quote was, "We're going to take care of a decade's worth of complaints in one release."
