While I don't know of a hard limit set for the amount of transactions 
MySQL can run per second, I'm sure the developers of MySQL put one in 
(and it would make sense that every other RDBMS has a limit as well). 
However, in 10 years of using MySQL, we have never hit any limit.  The 
only limit I've ever hit in MySQL is a 4Gb table (which was easily 
remedied).  Most of the time, when people try to 'rip' on something, 
it's because they're a fanboi of a competing something.
