For the people with huge amounts and fixed procedures it might be a good idea to (let) make some customized stuff. Perhaps with Oracle or so.
Why is everyone always running for a commercial solution? There are how many sites using MySql that are fielding how many hits with how much data? If you're using Windows you also have the option of using MSDE as your RDBMS backend. MySql or MSDE plus a Perl or VBScript (if you're using Windows) would do wonders for making things easier. Of course that requires someone who can program in either language to make that type of a program....<me>whistles</me>(yes, programming is something that is also on my list of skills)
