"If you're one of the people who has been saying, 'I can't use MySQL because it doesn't have [feature you need here]', it's time to read up on MySQL 4.0 and try it out on a development system. Can you say, 'full support for transactions and row- level locking'? 'UNION'? 'Full text search'?

"The new MySQL is even available as a library you can compile into your application. Proprietary licenses are available if you can't use the GPL."
