Given I haven&#x27;t done anything with it in nearly 7 years now.. but every time I&#x27;ve touched MySQL for anything, there was always a quirky behavior that bit me in the ass that no other dbms does...<p>Postgres, MS-SQL, Firebird, Oracle, DB2 are all better options in my mind... unless you need a good replication story, without a pricey support contract, then Postgres and Firebird are sadly out of the running imho.
