It might. Or it might not. The reports I've seen have been too mixed to consider MySQL for serious work any time soon. And in any case, I gather that it's layered on top of the Berkeley DB for this purpose, so why not just use that anyway? I would not seriously consider the use of MySQL for anything that involved real time inventories, etc. > I'm not sure if they have row level >locks yet or not. Also, if MySQL needs more work, so what? Maybe just move to a real enterprise level database like PostgreSQL? MySQL is the darling of web people who never understood database design to begin with, but just knew that having database access was cool and were willing to learn enough SQL to get it to work. PostgreSQL may not scale quite as well as Oracle, but most of us are not trying to service e-bay and would prefer that the $60-600 grand that Oracle costs go towards programmer fees.
