In lists.freebsd.isp you write: >Is anybody running MySql in a production environment? What are your >opinions regarding performance and stability? Since MySql is based on >kernel threads and there seems to be known problems with that on FreeBSD >I am concerned about its stability. As you've noted yourself, it uses mit pthreads. I've not had any stability problems so far. We're using it very successfully in a couple of environments. For our data set sizes (not exceeding 10.000 entries per table) it is fast, stable and convenient. We're using it for things like managing a couple thousand users for a client, online booking, etc. Often frontended to the Web via Apache / PHP / heitml. I'd recommend to simply try it out. >FreeBSD really needs a decent commercial DBMS. For things that mysql doens't do like views, yes. For many uses, something like Oracle or Informix simply is too fat IMO.
