Pros
- Many administration tools from third parties
- Widely deployed
- Regarded as being fast
- Modular storage engines and interesting clustering features
Cons
- Reputation for only basic SQL support (entry-level SQL 92) and deviations from the standards. Many interesting features (subqueries, views, triggers, ...) are included in the latest version (5 and above), but are missing in prior versions.
Some [http://sql-info.de/mysql/gotchas.html gotchas] (documented but unexpected features).
