| High Performance Transaction Support MySQL now includes the ACID-compliant InnoDB transactional storage engine, which is designed for very high performance and scalability when processing large data volumes and under high concurrency. Consistent with all MySQL offerings, InnoDB is easy to use and highly reliable, having been battle-tested by the Open Source community. InnoDB is now tightly integrated with MySQL and provides many features key to e-commerce and other transaction-based database applications, including: - Full transaction support, with commit, rollback and crash recovery capabilities to ensure full data consistency, even if hardware fails - Advanced row-level locking without requiring lock escalation for maximum read/write concurrency without compromising lock integrity - Multi-versioning to provide concurrency while maintaining maximum data integrity - Non-locking reads, consistent with Oracle’s style, to enable fast reads even when the database is engaged in heavy updates http://www.mysql.com/news/article-113.html http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,550118,00.asp |
