Don't know why you believe MySQL doesn't have the AVG() function; in fact it has more aggregating functionality than MSSQL:

As for the DATETIME stuff, MySQL is working on the millisecond thing, I believe; it is mostly due to platform issues (MySQL must be cross-platform, while MS doesn't have that dilemma). Other than that, it's just a shift in learning the date functions of MySQL and how they are different from MS SQL.

Yes, the two platforms are different (nobody ever said otherwise). But, it takes time to adjust to the various advantages/functionality of both platforms.
