I am sick and tired of MySQL - especially now that Oracle has made their disdain for open source and obviously by extension MySQL so apparent with this lawsuit against Google over Android(but really it's over the Java core). It's also becoming clear as day that there will NOT be a viable, interchangable alternative to MySQL probably ever. If MySQL ever had any shot at having a scaling instance like Oracle does, it's definitely dashed. It is on a road to a sad, quiet end. Looking to the future, if I can't replace MySQL I'll just be forced to replace vBulletin. And to the people talking about proprietary operations or encoding methods, it should be noted that Postgre supports the full SQL standard, whereas MySQL is the proprietary one.
Also can we get a really good migration process from VB to Xen ~
