Simple, dump MySQL and get PostgreSQL. Problem solved. PostgreSQL has more features and is better overall IMO, PostgreSQL just did not win the popularity contest against MySQL. MySQL seems to be shooting themselves in the foot IMO. Though I guess one could argue that is is considerably less expensive then Oracle or MS SQL Server, however, MySQL doesn't come close to the feature set of Oracle. Again, switch your app to PostgreSQL, is should be very simple, especially if you abstracted the DB layer and made it generic.
