Sorry for chiding you, but I couldn't resist. I've never used mySQL so I don't have much of an opinion from a developer's perspective.

I believe MySQL had two characteristics which were great back in ye olde days.

One was free, and the other one was that it was extremely fast to connect to. The latter basically meant that applications did not have to pool connections but could just get one when needed. That results in a simpler software stack.
