  1. MySQL has finally caught up by Michalson · · Score: 5, Insightful

    MySQL has finally caught up to the state of the enterprise relational database industry...as it was in 1999. Points for effort, but everyone else is still ahead with core features like integrity, leaving them free to build on new and better features. Bundling with PHP will only get you so far.
