Does MYSQL support transactions like rollback and commit now?
Does it have stored procedures and subqueries in its newest versions?

Hi Sherwin,
We're looking at Firebird, after bad experiences with SAP.
Sounds like you've used it - would you mind commenting some more on it, please? You seem not too impressed with it?
Many thanks,
David

Me, I am pretty excited on the outcome of the partnership between MySQL and
SAPDB, in the opensource arena, this tandem will surely make a difference in
the database industry. I've been following MySQL since their 3.22.x branch
and I can tell that this database is really good and will continue to be.
In my opinion with regards to superiority, Oracle will still be the most
superior of them all, because Oracle earns big bucks, and bulk of that money
goes to research and development. Firebird, hrmm with our experience with
their database, I am quite disappointed. Postgresql is pretty good,
especially with stability but it lacks the new mechanisms that MySQL have
like built-in replication, which we need for high-availability in our data.
Haven't tried SAPDB yet, well i tried but they only have rpms =(
So I guess the comparison should be Free RDBMS to Free RDBMS and Commercial
RDBMS to Commercial RDBMS.
PostgreSQL is the most stable for me.
MySQL is the fastest for me.
Oracle is the one with many features needed for the enterprise to run
massive mission critical data. Probably the best but depends on what you
really need.
SAPDB promising but not quite there.
Firebird/Interbase good well sort of.
