MySQL does now support transactions. http://www.mysql.com/products/mysql-4.0/index.html[^] Although i've never benchmarked them, i do personally have the touchy-feely feeling that it's quicker.

I think that the problem with benchmarks and with database benchmarks in particular is that they are focused on a specific issue and sometime you will find yourself with the DB that is the fastest doing something you don't need :) I think that both oracle and ms have benchmarks showing that their DB is the fastest DB running on a x86 platform and IBM did the same with its DB2... -- Looking for a new screen-saver?
