After reading this reply, and being a mySQL user, I naturally went to read much of the refered to page (it's very long).
It's a very interesting sequence of posts and responses, not so much because it was in any way conclusive on the "Not MySQL" front but rather because its a good lesson in how things change. It's a conversation that started a year ago and still continues, and shifts subtly as the various systems it discusses have changed over that time. It's also a good lesson in how inteligent people can have radically differing opinions because of the the questions they think are important to ask, and the problems they think are important to solve. I highly recommend it, but again not because it "proves" that MySQL shouldn't be an option.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
