Front page news, 22:56 UTC last night:
--- Quote ---We are recovering from a database crash
The main boinc database suffered a crash this morning. We are back up and running now and are catching up on work distribution.

Richard....
Just curious though we are back up and running......
I thought I read that they had converted away from MySQL.
Was that only on some of the servers?

They've always run two database systems - MySQL for BOINC (WUs/tasks/message boards), and IIRC Informix for the science databases and NTPCKR. So far as I know, there's been no change there - it would be a big job.
You might be thinking of the recent change from Apache to nginx - that's the webserver that handles comms (including uploads and downloads), not the database.

Yes, that's what I was remembering reading.......
Why not convert the whole kit to nginx, as most have said it is superior to MySql?

Completely different animal - nginx isn't a database management system, it's just another app - a communications app - which runs on Linux.
