Well said. But as in the case with the perl XM-RPC version 0.37, module I
have been using,  new doesn't mean unstable. At least not in that world
outside of MS.  The Berkely stuff is a lot older than InnoDB, but the
Berkely stuff makes me way nervous and I notice that mySQL is not as quick
to provide support for Berkely tables.

The mySQL people have always been pretty good about calling stable, what is
really worth calling stable, and the trans support is now considered that.
But would I choose mySQL over something else than had been doing trans for a
long time? Maybe, for example in a project I have been working on, I found
the lack of multi threading in Postgress was a real pain and memory hog with
larger numbers of users of heavy duty web apps. I didn't enjoy having 100
postgress processes going when I could have one big multi threaded mySQL
process, this on FreeBSD. The one big process was a lot more memory
efficent, and faster as is the case in general, which I guess is one big
reason why people are excited about Apache 2.

I started out using Postgres because I thought, god damn it, I want RF this
time. And so my comments from my last post apply to me as well :)

So anyway, I am starting to get used to the idea of mySQL being a "real"
database.
