I never had much problems with reliability of MySQL, beyond the problems created by bugs in the code I had to provide to work around the lack of transactions. That was sufficient to convince me to never again use an RDBMS that doesn't have transaction support. I've been told MySQL has since acquired support for transactions, but haven't checked. If it's still missing referential integrity, I'd still look elsewhere. Someone asked me off-list about rdb. It's in the ports. If you've experience with it, they would probably appreciate a comment. I'd be interested in reading any comments you have as well.
