mysql and volume

[Jack at Coats.org (Jack Coats)]

If you are talking that much, I might consider another DB.  MySQL is great,
but there are reasons for the various DB engines, and even a moderate volume
like you are talking could stress MySQL.  But hey, give it a shot in a test
environment.
If it holds up for you, go for it!
