But for web scenarios it is UNPARALELLED because of it's speed IMO. Sure, you don't have row-locking, but you can at least develop your app without paying $$ for a commercial DB license.
It seems the common definition of "mature" is that for something to be mature, it needs to suck up 90% of your machine's resources even when there is nobody connected to the DB.
It's about as hard as changing a light bulb to connect PHP to another DB when the time comes. If you develop using MySQL, you won't even have to change your SQL much (if at all).
FYI, Anything that mysql currently "lacks" will probably show up at some point. Until then, I can get a mysql server up and running in under 5 minutes. Anybody out there set up and configure Oracle in that amount of time lately? If you want RAD, mysql/PHP/apache is the way to go. Anyway, Oracle just released migration tools for MySQL so they must know that SOMETHING is up.
I have not seen a scripting language run faster than php. The functionality "out of the tarball" with this language is almost ludicrous. On the fly PDF and image creation, XML capabilities, tons more (check out http://www.php.net). PHP can spawn ANY non-interactive process written in whatever language you like and get the output from a redirected file (or have the process dump it to the DB).

So we should ban VCRs and Cassette tapes as well?
I would guess that there is probably more money lost to people renting a movie and copying it for themselves and a friend or two than the low percentage of the population who actually has internet access downloading Christina Agularia mp3's.
What is so wrong about preventing people from wasting their hard-earned money on some crappy album with a song they saw a video for once on MTV? Why can't you anti-Napster people view it from that perspective? Would you buy a new car without test driving it?
What about the fact that MP3 is nowhere near CD quality? There's a total loss of stereo seperation that makes the files sound like ass through a good surround sound stereo even if you use the least lossy compression. If you burn mp3's to audio, you then have to worry about the disk playing in 50% of the CD players out there.
MP3's are NOT a replacement for the real CD. If you like a band you will buy their CD for the liner notes and art. I have up to 4 real copies of CD's from some of my favorite bands just in case one gets lost/scratched/stolen. If I'm at the used CD place and I see it, I grab it... Oh wait, now you idiots will want to close down used CD places 'cause you can't make money off of them either...
I should have kept my fool mouth shut.

Why don't we just teach people how to set up napster to not serve up the files on their hard drives when there are bandwidth concerns?

It's settled. I'm going to call my scottish pasta McAroni.
oh, it's cool... just make your own degaussing coil to fix that. ;]
that's just what i was thinking.
ROFL
remember, you are preaching to fans of jay leno jokes. ;]
On that note: Is there anybody alive that can actually decipher a Java Run Time Error?

PHP is one badass swiss army knife.
Um... Two words
