At RGD we also use MySQL for other tools and its a great platform. You should also look at PostgreSQL which is the other leading open source RDBMS - it has many of the features of a commercial package like Oracle which MySQL might lack but is free and also has good support with third party tools (db drivers, etc). The Generic Model Organism Database project (GMOD, http://www.gmod.org) is using this for their RDBMS platform instead of MySQL for many of these reasons. Simon.
