I heard that MySQL is this cool free database that's taking over the 
world. The KNOPPIX CDs contain it, so I thought I'd sit down and have a 
play.

I was expecting great things. Maybe too great. What I actually found is 
that by default "commit" and "rollback" are no-op, and transaction 
handling is an "optional feature" that you have to explicitly enable.

I decided that any database that considers something so fundamentally 
important to be "optional" is obviously not a very serious effort. Then 
I looked at the release notes and it says "yay! we now support unions", 
and I'm like "my God - you're kidding, right?"

At that point, I lost interest.
