“MySQL AB’s widely used open-source database, MySQL, is taking a
big step forward in the corporate world with the addition of
transaction support….”
“Transaction support is the biggest change in this release.
Other open-source databases such as PostgreSQL and Borland Software
Corp.’s InterBase have long supported this feature (and provide
more SQL language support).”
“Using MySQL’s new Berkeley Database table type, eWeek Labs
could create a transaction-safe table that let us start a
transaction, make changes to data and then roll back the changes to
undo our alterations.”
