MySQL - a real database?  Not hardly.

PostgreSQL, Informix, Oracle, others, are _real_ databases.  MySQL is a
file system you access with SQL commands.  It lacks: ****transaction
support****, outer joins (how do you create a real relational database
application without left outer joins?), triggers, stored procedures, etc
(does it have views?), AND it's not ACID (see lack of transaction
support)
