Re: DBI: table locking

I believe MySQL does not support transactions. I heard PostgreSQL does have transactions, and it was discussed it in PM, I believe. Super Search? I am struggling with Oracle... HTH

To make errors is human. But to make million errors per second, you need a computer.

MySQL does indeed support transactions but it requires you use the right table type (preferably BDB or InnoDB). So you may have to do some re-compilation/installation before you can get transactions working, but they're definitely there. HTH broquaint	[reply]

Glad to hear it's not just me. The version of MySQL I have, which is quite recent, certainly doesn't support transactions. § George Sherston	[reply]
