The CAS operation exists in the text protocol for performing an atomic read/update operation, and is extended to every operation in the binary protocol.

This way you can easily create locks in your own code. To me thats a really important feature, thought its worth mentioning it.

I think MySQL (the company) is still fixing mistakes of the past. We fixed a lot of complaints in 5.0, but said a bunch of silly things before. Give us another chance, it is after all 2008 :) Haha, good point Simon. I think MySQL (the company) is still fixing mistakes of the past.

Remember that until 2001 it didn't support referential integrity or transactions and the developers claimed these things were bad ideas... Just doesn't give me much faith. As for "the most widely used..." -- Windows is the most widely used desktop OS, and lookit that ;) Was just a gentle dig.

And saying its not a database, or reliable, is rather silly, no? Seeing that its probably the most widely used open source database out there (you know, Google, Yahoo!, etc.). I suggest taking a look at a sensible, newer release, in the MySQL 5 range (and if you're brave, the 5.1 RC) Erm, MySQL supports referential integrity, for a while now Simon.

No referential integrity, its not a database." So about as reliable as MySQL then. “No check for validity. No referential integrity, its not a database.”
