Having had to use MySQL seriously for the first time for a long time, I am finding
it makes the easy things (appear) easy and the difficult things impossible.
For example, AUTO_INCREMENT is easy to set up and use, but
is a toy feature compared to real sequences...

This is what MySQL recommends:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Maintenance_regimen.html
How about repackaging VACUUM as a "database defragmentation
utility"? After all many many people have come to accept
disk defragmenters as an essential part of their OS ;-)
