MySQL usage on the rise in ColdFusion community
OK, that post title is a bit misleading, because I don't have any concrete evidence of this. But I have seen a lot of MySQL discussions on CF-Talk lately. Here are some examples: Thread 1 Thread 2 Thread 3 Thread 4.
It seems that a lot of CF developers will use Microsoft Access for low end and/or low budget projects. Personally, I think this is crazy (Access can't handle concurrency). However, it seems that at least some of said developers are looking at MySQL as a better alternative.

Believe it or not - I used to run deathclock.com on Access - but just because I was too cheap. It did well under load (4 million hits a month), but I did some heavy caching.

I think i just heard the collective *GASP* of CF programmers everywhere. Yes some people use Microsoft alternatives. Welcome to the Light side... Down Ben... Down.

I find it interesting that people STILL chose to use Access, for whatever reason, when you can get PostGres, MySQL, MS SQL, Oracle, and many others for FREE! And it's not a limited time offer! ;) Seriously, though, I think people just use what they're used to.

We are using PostgreSQL for our development. We had some funny issues with mysql 5 and stored procs with temp tables, so we moved on...
