-MySQL is a quasi-
[SQL
] DataBase management system ([RDBMS]).
-
-It is small and fast for low loads. It lacks a lot of features that other databasen, noticably [PostgreSQL], offer. (PostgresVsMysql)
-
-; __When should I use MySQL?__ : When your primary concern is the speed of simple SELECT queries for few concurrent users. Even then PostgreSQL is getting much quicker at these.
-
-; __When should I not use MySQL?__ : When you think "It's only going to ever be a small web site...", and there's a chance it could grow into a big one. If at any point you think you might need to change to something else, start with that other system instead.
-
-; __How can I lessen the impact of having to switch later on?__ : Use [PearDB] in your PHP scripts.

-Gates: NOBODY expects the [InfoWorld Article|http://infoworld.com/articles/pl/xml/02/09/23/020923pldman.xml]! The chief thing missing from MySQL is subselects...subselects and views...views and subselects.... The two things missing are views and subselects...and triggers.... The *three* things missing are views, subselects and triggers...and an almost fanatical devotion to row-level transactions.... The *four*...no... *Amongst* the things missing from MySQL ...are such elements as views, subselects.... I'll come in again. (Exit and exeunt)
