mysql can have issues with threads under load on FreeBSD 4.x, that is
true. However, it generally works fine on single processor FreeBSD
boxes, and usually works fine on multiprocessor machines. If you're
not maxing out your database machine, mysql will serve you well. If
you are running a very busy (hundreds of hits per minute) database
based web site, then you should put some serious thought into exactly
what combination of database and server OS you use --- mysql on
FreeBSD would not be a brilliant choice in that case.
Of course, all this is true for FreeBSD 4.x. Threads have been
completely reworked in 5-CURRENT and indications are that it will be a
rather stellar performer.
Cheers,
Matthew
