RE: [PHP] NuSphere.. what is it???

NuSphere added a table type called gemini. From nusphere.com: "Gemini tables provide row-level locking, robust transaction support, and reliable crash recovery." It's not included in the free download. I guess you also pay the easy install (*) and for e-mail/phone support. (*) It takes a few minutes to install and configure MySQL, PHP, Apache, Perl and some other stuff.
