MySQL ready for prime time
Link: http://www.sqlsummit.com/articles/MySQL5.htm
Conclusion of the article about the upcoming MySQL 5:
The future looks promising for MySQL because version 5.0 makes it competitive for enterprise computing, with capabilities such as transactions, stored procedures, parallel processing and the capacity for very large databases. The free MySQL Community Edition is an excellent vehicle for expanding the MySQL developer community. That opens the door for license revenues, new products that complement MySQL, and consultants evangelizing MySQL to their clients.
