; __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.
