I dunno, perhaps I don't get out the office enough, but I just don't hear about MySQL any more.
I think this thread is tilting at windmills.

A few years ago about 1 in 2 contracts we had was with a start-up using MySQL.
The other half were using either PG or Oracle or SQLServer. The years before
that, pre-dot-com-crash, every start-up used Oracle, presumably because Larry had
some Vulcan mind grip over the VCs.

Then Oracle acquired MySQL any anyone with a brain and some imagination
figured out where that would lead eventually.

So today everyone I meet is either using PostgreSQL or some "web scale" store
like Raik, MondoDB, Cassandra. MySQL is nowhere to be seen. I'm not
sure if that's because folks migrated from MySQL to something else, or
because the MySQL-using companies were the ones that went out of business.
