Pointing out the serious limitations in MySQL is not, IMHO, bashing.
MySQL currently has serious limitations for many RDBMS uses.
Concurrent performance under industry-standard benchmarks in one
indicator. I my previous conversations with Monty, anytime I brought up
the subject of multiuser benchmarks, he consistently stated that the
single-user case was more important, as that's how the current (as of
the last time I looked) MySQL 'benchmarks' are structured.
Concurrent benchmarking, with a real-world mix of queries (such as AS3AP
and TPC-C), is far more useful to those who are using an RDBMS for more
than just a web backend. Although, it is a useful average indicator of
web backend performance as well.
And I have to note that SourceForge switched for performance reasons.
Seems there was a great deal of Postgres-bashing from the MySQL side not
long ago.....
