Subject: RE: mySQL
For most people transactions will not be a large issue. What I find more
difficult to work around is the lack of sub-queries, unions and views, which
we use regularly throughout our code. In addition, MySQL is missing many
structural elements such as column default values and foreign keys.
You can generally work around the lack of stored procedures, row level
locking, transactions, triggers, etc., just as you can work around the
issues mentioned above, but I find that operations like sub-selects and
foreign keys are more intrinsic to many of the applications we code daily.

Subject: OT: mySQL
Sorry for the OT, but I'm just curious as to weather
or not anyone is using mySQL and their opinions about
using it as an alternative to SQL Server ($$$$$$).
I've been doing some testing with table locking etc.
but I would be very interested in hearing how others
are coding around transactions.
