MySQL is very basic with no procedure or transaction support. MySQL *does* support transactions. I really wish folks would stop telling others it doesn't, as it has since 3.23.17 at least. Transaction support isn't as complete as it is in Oracle, but it does match PostgreSQL. Check out http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/commented/manual.php?section=Compare_PostgreSQL for a good comparison of the two [even though this is on the mysql site, it does list things that postgre can do that mysql can't]. /vjl/ [who's just now getting e.mail sent to the list from last week!]
