I’ve heard a lot of unfounded complaints about “getting a real database solution” from people who simply haven’t done their homework over the years. MySQL may have been a toy database around version 3, but that was a decade ago. [...] A lot of the complaints I’ve heard about OpenSim have been related to the avatar.
