I certainly don't.  MySQL provides two different ways to corrupt your
data: actual database corruption *and* data integrity corruption.  You
can escape the second by using InnoDB rather than MyISAM tables, but
that increases your chances of the first (InnoDB not being as "mature"
as either MyISAM or PostgreSQL).

Also, saying "a few years ago I did some research" in software terms is
pretty much equivalent to saying "I don't know".
