[TCLUG] moving away from oracle

I wasn't implying it doesn't scale, rather you aren't going to see a bank
using it any time soon.  Modest was too all encompassing.  I meant if you
don't need rock solid data integrity, and the niceties of the commmercial
offerings.

I think you sell MySQL a bit short here.  MySQL is used on high volume
websites precisely because it can handle the load.  For example, directNIC,
the 9th largest registrar (perhaps higher), uses MySQL for everything.  They
get a huge amount of traffic.
