It powers the several Wordpress blogs I am hosting, a photo gallery, an internal RSS feed aggregator, and a ton of other things. Sure, it has bugs, but it runs smoothly, without problems. I've been running it on the past three stable releases, all without issue. I also run MySQL on a Sid machine for development. I have a Django web app that I am working on that uses MySQL as the backend, and everything hums along fine. The only time I ever had a problem with MySQL was when I worked as a data mining engineer for a large political research company. It was my job to take tables of millions of rows, and hundreds of thousands of columns, sift through the data, and pull out voting records based on certain criteria. We had a custom built-in app for doing the work, but it was slow as molasses on a cold day, and buggy as hell. So, I decided to try a solid DB server. MySQL was my first choice, and not only would it break under the weight of the tables, it would bring the OS down too. PostgreSQL handled everything just fine, was snappy as hell, and never gave me any problems. To each their own, but I've put MySQL through the refiners fire, and other than running SQL statements on enormously massive tables, it's been exceptionally reliable for me. Sounds to me like you have other issues than just MySQL. -- . o . o . o . . o o . . . o . . . o . o o o . o . o o . . o o o o . o . . o o o o . o o o
