Possibly. But as the MySQL people have been dismissing the need for tranactions for *years*, I'd be inclined to think they're playing catch-up. Hmmm... The canonical Why Not MySQL? is too old. Try looking at http://www.wlug.org.nz/PostgresVsMysql PostgreSQL used to be hard to install, thus MySQLs popularity. At this point it's as easy as: apt-get install postgresql And RPM based distributions are not much harder. Add a JDBC driver and pgAdmin for a graphical frontend and you're all set.
