Title: MYSQL, Orion, EJB and transactions ??

I would use the Hypersonic db that ships with Orion as you have to do nothing to set it up, and it works great.

Don't bother with MySQL.

Hi there,

I know that the question has been discussed here before, but I'm still a little confused about using
MYSQL together with Orion.
I've just downloaded mysql (version 3.23.22 beta) and the manual announces that mysql is now supporting transactions.
If I understood it correctly, that would mean, that it should be possible to use mysql with entity beans. Am I right ??
What's confusing to me is the fact, that I only find news in mailing-list, that mysql is not supporting transactions.

So I don't really now, if I can use mysql for entity beans.
If not, which database would you suggest ??
It should work on NT and not be the most expensive one as I use it 'only' for writing my Master's Thesis.

Thanks in advance,

Michel
