    Not to mention that MySQL doesn't even enforce referential integrity would would seem much less functional than MS SQL.

    Will people ever stop saying this? InnoDB tables, which provide referential integrity, have been available for MySQL since version 3.23.34a (2001), are included in binary distributions by default as of MySQL 4.0, and are the default table type on Windows starting with version 4.1.5. See InnoDB Overview.
