Concuerdo con lo opinado, MYSQL es una base de datos domestica(<1000000 reg x tabla aprox).
> a 1000000 debes de buscar una base mas robusta, confiable etc, ejemplo ORACLE, sql server etc.

Hay muchachos por favor... como van a decir esto, miren los casos de estudio:
http://www-it.mysql.com/why-mysql/case-studies/
donde empresas "pequeñas" (estoy siendo sarcastico en eso de pequeñas) como Sony o Yahoo tiene implementado MySQL como motor de base de datos en algunas de sus aplicaciones.. mirando un poco del pdf de Yahoo:

Yahoo! uses the MySQL database to power many of its web
properties. The first was Yahoo! Finance (http://finance.yahoo.com.
), a popular web site that provides the full spectrum of
financial services and information. MySQL is behind Yahoo!
Finance's high-traffic area of news headlines, which is
aggregated from over 100 sources worldwide, as well as its
stock charts, insider trading, SEC filings, conference calls,
and earnings reports. Today, this is accomplished using
Yahoo!’s sophisticated publishing application called Jake
(Jointly Administered Knowledge Environment) based on
MySQL. In fact, Jake has become the enabling application
for MySQL usage across Yahoo! Properties worldwide.

Our needs vary considerably, and that is one reason that MySQL works well with us. It handles the high-volume, 260 million record tables just as well as the small, low-volume ones. One of our servers handled over a quarter of a billion queries in a month- and-a-half, and it still has capacity to spare.

La decision de utilizar un motor de base de datos depende de los requerimientos del sistema a implementar y no se escoje un Oracle/DB2, por que es lo mas caro y todos dicen que es lo mejor...
