Why Not MySQL?

Actually we have. We ran into trouble with the data from the other database--not MySQL And it turned out that unique indexes where not being used. MySQL screamed loud and clear when it found the dup.
Are these instances of dup records actual dup keys, or multiple "same" records with diferent key values?
But you are correct in that we are keeping it simple. We rely on platform independance and don't dive too deeply into extented functionality. So far MySQL has proven itself capable and reliable.

I keep reading about how unstable MySQL is, and yet haven't once seen an example.
Let's seem some hard evidence to back up your flames!
I was and still am a proponent of Oracle, but it is not the end-all-be-all of my existence and does not make since in many situations. MySQL has been more than sufficient to meet most of our needs.
