Some interesting reads on MySQL vs. other Databases. This
one is slightly outdated (its been in 'to be updated' mode for
awhile now):
http://openacs.org/philosophy/why-not-mysql.html

And this is an interesting thread on the subject. InnoDB sounds like
its worth looking at (as well as PostgreSQL):

Though MySQL is still probably the perfect solution for something
like what Oakley is doing, i.e., creating a database index to their XML
product catalog, it looks like its still not the answer to all database
problems.
