MySQ-Hate!

Various sucky aspects of MySQL are a common theme around use Perl. I recently started a page on my home-site collecting Links that speak against MySQL, and I ask the collective wisdom of the use Perlers for learning about more.

So if you know of such links, please mention them in the comments below, or email me about it.

(Note that the purpose of the page is just to collect these links, not to necessarily imply that MySQL is, as a whole, bad.)

Both completely out of date. MySQL has has ACID-compliant transactions for many years, and 5.0 provided strict SQL compliance years ago too.

Why?

Is there something useful to come out of this?
