It would be worth asking some hard questions about how good their
subselect implementation is, too.  "We've got subselects!" doesn't
mean that they can optimize 'em with any efficiency.  Our subselect
implementation has gotten a lot better over the years than it started
out as; I'd imagine MySQL is just starting to climb that same learning
curve ...
