David Axmark, one of the MySQL developers, was at the recent Linux conference in Montreal, and in the paper in the proceedings, it's mentioned that transaction support is on the TODO list. (I think it might not be full transactions, though; I don't have the paper here, but I think there were some simplifications. Will check...) -- A.M.

OK, either you have FULL transactions or you have no transactions. You don't get to have only commit and call it a transaction :-) You *must* have abort/rollback. THis is the ANSI standard, period. I wonder sometimes about people who claim to write software. What might a "partial" transaction be?
