Besides that MySQL forked already and while I do like and use MySQL, there is 
still PostgreSQL (did I write that correctly, people always go bonkers when I 
write it wrong) and plenty of other options. Unless one has MySQL specific 
code (which would be a bad thing anyway) swapping out database engines should 
be fairly easy. Nice thing is that PHP supports pretty much any database 
engine out there.
