==Criticisms==
MySQL has been criticized by at least one user of lacking production-quality features, with version 5.0 only just starting to add them, where as other [[FOSS]] alternatives such as [[PostgreSQL]] had such features in their very earliest versions. MySQL has also been criticized for bad performance, e.g. locking entire tables when it only should have locked a row, as well as general incompatibility (Editor's note: with what?).

==Files & Folders==
The [http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/installation-layouts.html Installation Layouts] manual page gives a listing of folders created by a mysql installation, but does not list all files (some of them added to existing folders) upon which a working installation is dependent.

===RPM distributions===
(The Debian/Ubuntu setup is similar; folders marked with * indicate those found in Ubuntu and not given in the documentation.)
