Seems that Jim Starkey had an touch in Mysql now all the mysql storage
engines will have MVCC and transactions :)
And engines don't compete with each other : Maria vs Falcon vs Oracle
(aka InnoDB) vs PBXT
Ahh i din't included drizzle or Maria++

I'm just learning some c++ by writing an Firebird engine for mysql
until now it opened some eyes on the mysql engine internals and how
some consultants do some profits on it
also i cursed the autotools , it always reminds me of sendmail maybe
because of the m4 ...
The other day some book recommends (weird sybase consultant) to avoid
Triggers ,
I don't know for me in interbase/firebird seems natural to use them
and i didn't have any issues with them
I fact i can't imagine life without triggers or views or transactions.
Anyone knows when they were introduced in interbase?
It's weird to not trust your RDBMS and to start implementing
workarounds in php/c or python
