MySQL good for lots of traffic?
I want to use something cheaper than MS SQL Server as a database to handle what may turn into a fairly large volume of traffic. Basically, my app will behave the same as a Twitter feed. People submit messages to our server and receive messages based on a query. I'd like new messages to appear fairly quickly (few seconds).
Using MySQL or some similar database will allow me to move across hosting providers easily and without the expense of a Windows Server or MS SQL Server. Does MySQL handle large volumes of traffic well?
Does connecting to it through PHP perform well?

Isn't this true about any database? What do you mean?
If anything, you should be able to remain at a current version and not accept MySQL updates.
