"we" haven't. this is comp.databases.theory. until recently (and even then, at extra cost??) MySql had no transaction support, much less triggers, stored procs., etc.
it is, however, a blindingly fast file system surrogate; accessible through SQL. if you're doing mostly reads, and can afford to support updating in your code, then it's not a bad deal.
whether anyone who follows this group falls into that category, uuuum.
