Wrong. Newer versions of MySQL do support transactions. I don't really like the way they're implemented, but it's a *fast* way for sure. However if you are accustomed to Oracle PostgreSQL will be the better choice. But MySQL isn't that bad after all. I'm stuck with it and after some research (and some additional perl code) I got everything I need working with MySQL.
