It is so powerful  — 3 weeks ago

Worth doing!

Every day I discover new and more powerful ways to do things with this language.

I have a great deal of respect and admiration for this language which is turning 40 years old, has survived many attacks from large corporations who tried to claim its success by making its own variant, and is finally available in a free and extremely stable and powerfull release as MySQL

Kudos !

The software that I support uses MySQL. I support the user interface but for the sake of being proactive I want to learn “MySQL” and start doing server updates as well.

Nope  — 9 months ago

Not worth it!

MySQL’s poor performance forced me into writing crazy cache schemes. 5.0 was an unstable hunk of crap. MySQL would barf with random table crashes that would bring down my website. I still don’t understand why a table should randomly crash!

When I finally migrated to a better database system and added foreign keys, I discovered that MySQL’s was happily letting “CoryKING” and “coryking” exist in my unique username column. I had to sift through almost 100 usernames to figure out which account was the real one. Had I been using the new database server in the first place, this issue would have been caught before it could corrupt my database.

Bottom line?

MySQL is overrated. I would not recommend its use in any kind of production environment. There are much better alternatives.
