About MySQL

Companies like Yahoo!, NASA and the Associated Press, lookig for an affordable database solution, have embraced MySQL and pushed it to the limit.

Our Experience

We have been using MySQL for five years and reccomend it for all web applications. Although we have not pushed it to the same limits as Yahoo! (Yahoo! has some tables with 260,000,000 records and one client reported 60,000 tables with 5,000,000,000 rows) we have built applications containing tables with 3,000,000 rows and consuming 600 meg. We have a deep knowledge regarding how to install, correctly configure and write efficient code for MySQL.
