Unfortunately, I'm with Ron, at least as far as saying "use a REAL
database engine."  Oracle, DB2, Sybase are all probably more appropriate
for this question.  I know that MySQL has been advertising their
"Enterprise-readiness" for a few months now, but I really don't think
that they have either the foundation or the experience to deliver a REAL
enterprise-class DBMS yet.
