  • If the answer to the question is "MySQL" you are not asking the right question. : )
    • Right because :
      What libre RDBMS has Commerical Support, proven and reliable replication and backup and a decent GUI?
      is obviously such a wrong question.

      I work with MySQL and Postgres almost exclusively and have to say that 9/10 times I would choose the former over the latter - especially if I'm clustering.

      For all the talk about MySQL corrupting data it remains anecdotal and hasn't really been seen in production, fail to vacuum your postgres however and that's your data corrupted or lost.

      print reverse @JAPH;

        Did you mean that you haven't seen it in your production environment? I get hit with this all the time and it's terribly frustrating to get pulled away from real work only to find yet another bit of code I have to patch because the MySQL developers didn't think data integrity was important. I know I'm not the only person with this problem.
