Other than the fact that/. uses MySQL for their back end, how is this news? How many incremental alpha releases warrant news mention? This thing got my hopes up, and then I read that it is an alpha release. Yawn. New for nerds with too much time on their hands.
You don't need foreign keys to maintain referential integrity. A proper GUI, among many other things, can enforce this anyway. It is a nice feature, but definitely not needed in a well designed system. Further they slow down performance and I have seen projects where they are not used because of this.
Anyone want to bet that this guy is a FileMaker Pro Database Developer?

If MySQL is so fast, how do you explain slashdot?
Slashdot is the slowest piece of shit I've ever seen and MySQL powers everything.
Don't they want to add perl stored procedures too? I'm sure that'll speed things up even more!
