-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Yes, mySQL has the ability to define foreign keys, which allows you to RELATE tables together. It does lack some of the nicer SQL features tho, like correlated subqueries, transactions and stored procedures. I believe they added transactions and stored procs to 4.0. However, it is a great database to work with.

Guys, I remember a discussion a while ago that debated whether or not MYSQL is a true relational database. I cannot seem to find that discussion in the archives. At risk of stirring up the debate again (which may not necessarily be a bad thing), can someone tell me if MySQL is or is not a true relational database? The last discussion concluded that it isn't. Don't remember why though.
