Well Arne,

You clearly love MySQL.

However, it is a toy database for toy applications - and explain
exactly how MySQL is *not* "any other ISAM file library".

Until recently (and maybe still), one did not have to go far into the
manual to realise that the developers were totally clueless as to the
requirements of a database per se, and of a relational database in
particular.

Faulty understanding of the issues involved led to fundamentally flawed
product.  the fact that InnoBase even exists, is, well, proof by
existence, that the original and current MySQL is seroiusly flawed.

And I am sorry, the notion that dat integrity is the responsibility of
the application, as the developers of MySQL so fondly recounted in the
manuals says exactly everything you need to know about their level of
understanding of the theory, or for that matter, practice of databases
in general and relational databases in particular.

If you want a glorified file system with a toy SQL on top if it for
non-critical applications - fine, use MySQL.  I can conceive of few
applications with even the most limited data integrity and security
requirements that would be well served by MySQL.
