Bo, I've recently started having to deal with MySQL. (Web sites
wanting/using php _need/have-to-have_ MySQL. Their words not mine.) And
from going from a "I dislike MySQL" to "I'm really hating MySQL" has been
getting easier and easier.
My dealings with MySQL are for the 3.xx version but I semi-followed a
thread on this several months ago so feel fully qualified to to throw in
my views. :-) My take on others research was that MySQL transaction
model is a bubble gum and bailing wire add on not an integral part of
MySQL. It _was_ tacked onto the top of the database so if either it or
MySQL failed you were likely to loose data.

How about "Friends don't let friends use MySQL"?

Hopefully others with a stonger knowledge will provide this.
