I'm mainly developing web-applications and sites under php and with the new VPS-technology taking ground, mysql is consequently not the only option (as compared to most shared-hosting-plans).

There's technical benefits of using fb over mysql, one obvious is ram-requirements.
(The quickey to run a mysql under vps is disabling innodb and sometimes even table-lock)

The effect/integrity of running fb under vsp/san with/without forced-writes maby
should be looked into.

Mysql shouldn't be taken for granted as no1 on the internet, things change. ;-)
