We are living interesting times … MySQL was first purchased by SUN and now SUN was purchased by ORACLE. I don’t know what future will reserve for MySQL, but in this moment it seems MySQL is coming very very close to PostgreSQL. We are NOT talking about MySQL with MyISAM, we are talking about MySQL with InnoDB, because I’m directly interested in a set of properties what PostgreSQL already have them built-in and MySQL achieve them through InnoDB (and the new Maria Data plugin). This properties are Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability = ACID, in other words, very stable, good integrity and crash proof database. Why an ACID database? Sometimes we are more interested in ACID for our data than raw speed. For example do you keep your savings to a bank who is running a NON ACID database? I think you understand my concern.
