I had no idea MySql was doing so well in the datbase space. The last time I used it was Version 3 a while ago (and a little bit on four)

The big reason for that being that just about any website hosting company will offer MySQL (with the exception of Windows hosting plans, which often use some Jet-driven system) because it is fast and easy. So it is becoming ubiquitous because it comes preloaded. In that sense, it is not unlike Windows. The 5.0 release corrected a lot of the earlier issues that it had with constraints and ACID.

Firebird is my DB of choice. I have had terrific results with it on all my projects. Too bad most hosting companies don’t offer it instead. :-/
