I can’t stand it, really.
I’m using it at the moment only because I’m forced to. I can’t help considering it as a toy DB, especially comparing it to PostgreSQL or SQL Server or any other serious RDBMS.
The last thing that hit my nerve is this bug. Come on… can’t it even handle foreign keys in a decent way?
And I’m trying not to think that it allows you to define a table with foreign keys and silently ignore them.

Iwould like to comment the comment about mysql ignorant behaviour on foreign keys. It’s like marrying a women that refuses any sex before marriage and then after that deciding not to have sex with her for personal reasons.. It’s just kind of sick. 🙂
