Sorry, this may have been asked before, but can anyone tell me if there is a faster database system than mysql?

Thanks in advance.

The short answer is if you need to ask then it probably does not matter which database you use -- they will all be about the same speed for the stuff you are doing. The long answer is that it depends. There are things like SQLite that are faster, but with trade-offs.
