Hi,

Yes, I know, but you need innodb and from reading the docs I got the
impression that it's somewhat complicated to use it (I might be wrong).

Besides, I think it is hack. Innodb (again, from mySQL docs) is a DB
system itself. So, you end up running a DB which runs ANOTHER DB.

mySQL was designed to be fast (really fast) but ended being a hack over
another (eg: tansaction support and foreign keys).

If you want a small fast DB mySQL is excelent. But, if you want a full
featured SQL database, use PostgreSQL.

BTW, mySQL (last time I checked didn't support stored procedures, at
least not coded in SQL). Postgres does (another big plus for large
projects).
