[Freeswitch-users] Is MySQL OK to use?

Wed Apr 6 20:32:00 MSD 2016

There is no room for non-threadsafe code in the future of computers with
the number of cores only going up.
If they don't still have the "thread safe" version of mysql  (with the _r
at the end), then all versions should be probably considered ok in threaded
env and it would indeed be a bug unless there is some documentation to
suggest they gave up on being thread safe in which case, you may want to
use postgres rather than fight the hard battle with mysql.
