Saying MySQL is an overkill for sa-mp is debatable. Yes, there is a large amount of servers where MySQL isn't necessary, but there is that small amount where it is. There are servers with hundreds of players daily, and probably have tens of thousands of dormant accounts. If you have hundreds of players on one server, you can't really afford to lose time writing data to a file, so you can just use MySQL which runs queries on a thread separate from the server saving you that valuable time.

There is also a small handful of servers that wish to build a culture around their server, and want to implement a UCP, or a webpage with statistics. Implementing that with flat-files would just be impractical.

It's evident that you know what you're talking about. Therefore your post count and reputation points are completely irrelevant.
