Reasons For Using MySQL

The reasons for choosing MySQL as the relational database that drive this website and the Giant Java Tree development tools are performance, license, driver availability, and the excellent support that comes from Monty. Or could it be because my dad's name is Monte?

MySQL drives a number of serious commercial websites, and my developmen experience with MySQL has been totally positive. MySQL is so good, in fact, that I sent my license fee to get MySQL for Windows. MySQL on NT4 is very nice.
