MySQL is Looking Pretty Cool

OK. You may think I'm crazy, but, I just started working with MySQL for the first time. That's right. I've never used MySQL until now. However, to compensate, I've been using PostgreSQL and SQL Server for the past 7 or 8 years. Now, I played with MySQL while I was attending USU but never got into it too much because, back then, it wouldn't even enforce primary and foreign keys. Thus, frankly, I brushed it off.

Also, when developing web sites, I've had several opportunities to work with MySQL but because SQL Server was available, and I was already familiar with it, I used it instead.

Anyway, I have to admit MySQL is awesome. It's come a long way since I last worked with it in college. One thing I really like: its so darn easy to backup and restore a DB. Plus, it's fast, it's reliable, and, best of all, it's open source and free. I highly recommend it.
