Same. Around then, I requested MySQL and was told no for the same reasons you were. So I implemented my database as flat files and proceeded to use up all the inodes a few weeks later on a large call center server used for interviewing and data collection.

I received a panicked call from the admin that turned down my request. He wasn’t happy with me but understood the role he played in creating an expensive disaster.

Plenty of learning to go around in that experience :)
