Ahhh - it got lost in the subediting - heres the original second para, before the sub decided he needed to cut another 13 words to fit the article between the ads...

Errrr, I know it hasn't been in long, but MySQL now has transactions. It uses the BerkleyDB stuff behind MySQL's SQL engine. The transaction capable tables are slower than the MyIASM tables, but you do now have the choice to run (slower) transactions or not on a table by table basis.
I've been running 3.23.22beta1 (with transactions) for about 4 weeks now and its been working great, its not currently under any load tho...

heh heh - then just add a little diesel, throw it all in the back of your SUV, and park it outside your local FBI office...
just 'cause it has common uses, doesn't mean its _not_ nasty...
Even if data corruption should occur, a source said, the result would be nothing more than a system freeze, easily fixed with a restart.
Statements like this worry me. Restarts are NOT ok, and i'm sickened that people think they are.
Yes, *but*, although not well written, in its original context, the rest of your comment isn't really relevant. The bit you quoted was preceeded by "the glitch would more likely effect more-efficient embedded operating systems." Its not clear what the original "source" was asked, or talking about, but an "embedded operating system", is not what you're going to run your e-commerce website on.
(tho maybe it _is_ what you'd use on a $170 million probe going to mars:-)

doesn't fix the problem, https://playboy.com could send you encrypted porn, but you cant encrypt the domain name, and thats what I suspect they'll filter on...

It can be.
It uses (according to the doco I've got here) any of 5 different table types, BerkleyDB being just one of them.
see the mysql doco for details

A quick look on the mysql site reveals they were announced as "experimental" on the 9th of May, see http://www.mysql.com/news/article-18.html for the announcement...
