I've used MySQL for websites that get millions of page views involving up to hundreds of millions of queries per month without ever having a problem.
I should repeat that for emphasis: I've never had a problem. No lost data. No mysterious crashes. Nothing except good performance and reliability. (Performance was about 9 times faster than Oracle by my benchmarks in the application I was running at the time it was ported to Oracle.) The link that questioned MySQL as an adequate database and questioned whether it was just waiting to fall apart at the seams because it doesn't have atomicity or rollback obviously was put together by someone totally unfamiliar with its use in a production environment and who seems like they were more concerned with communicating their knowledge of esoteric (but good to know!) database concepts than reality. Of course, it doesn't have as many features as Oracle or other large commercial databases, but it sounds like for your needs, it's just what you need.
