"MySQL is the world's most popular Open Source Database, designed for speed, power and precision in mission critical, heavy load use." -- http://www.mysql.com/
IMPORTANT: WHEN RUNNING THE SCALABILITY TEST WITH MySQL, THE CONFIGURATION FILE MUST BE CHANGED SO THAT THE LOG IS FLUSHED WITH EVERY COMMIT.
BY DEFAULT MySQL DOES NOT FLUSH THE LOG. @:o
THIS INCREASES PERFORMANCE BUT MAY CAUSE THE LOSS OF SOME OF THE LAST COMMITED TRANSACTIONS.
