[redland-dev] MySQL Storage ready for production use?

Migration should be relatively painless even if the underlying MySQL
table structures change.  Just write the storage out to a triples file
and then read it back in again.  Caveat: Adding lots (millions) of
triples to a MySQL store is quite slow.

I don't think anyone is going to be willing to gaurantee that your data
will be completely safe.  Redland seems solid enough to me but that's
not the same as having a few hundred thousand users all using Redland
for business critical data.  The answer seems to be to make good,
frequent backups.
