flap:
MySQL is not as fully featured as MSSQL, but it's not meant to be. MySQL is supposed to be a lean, realtively lightweight dbms for use with websites, which is why it's used so much as a web backend.
However, you can still use free software if you do require a fully featured dbms; postgresql.

KernelPanic:
PostgreSQL is the heavyweight SQL server that is more like MSSQL.
Like flap said, MySQL is light but quite functional.

KernelPanic:
Oops, just read the tread properly and realised I have pretty much said exactly what flap said.
Nevermind, no harm done I guess.

GoodwillMan:
A few LUV meeting ago a guy from MySQL said...
"MySQL was not ment for features, our goals are for Stability and Proformance"

And Oracle own you!
