[Zope] MySQL and Zope

[Jose de Leon]

I asked on MySQL list about the same thing, I noticed it too.  Somebody from
MySQL replied and noted that part at the end is a mistake and that
transactions will in fact be supported soon.  Some transactions possibly be
supported this year but he couldn't make any promises.

If you scroll down a bit on that page, it says;

"
F.3 Some things we don't have any plans to do

     Transactions with rollback (we mainly do SELECTs, and because we
don't do transactions, we can be much quicker on everything else). We
will support some kind of atomic operations on multiple tables,
     though. Currently atomic operations can be done with LOCK
TABLES/UNLOCK TABLES but we will make this more automatic in the future.
"

So I really dont know what they mean...?
