Actually it really depends on the purpose of the database. Read-only
databases that get updated twice a year or single-user databases may not
require transactional abilities at all.

Ultimately, I guess it depends on your definition of "database".
Under certain definitions, a CSV file is a database. There are people
who develop "in-memory databases", yet under some definitions there's no
such thing. (Since some definitions require "recoverable" and "robust".)
For the thing I'm trying to do, transactional (and recoverable, etc) is
very important. If I was trying to catelog my CD collection, MySQL would
probably be quite a good fit...

I think your info about mysql is out of date.

It's not feature creep if you put it
at the end and adjust the release date.

Then mysql is more than adequate to the task.
Why not use a helpdesk that already exists, uses mysql, is available
under the gpl, and is cross platform.

Well, last I checked, MySQL is a "toy database" on a par with Access.
(Do they even support nested SELECT statements yet?) There's nothing
"wrong" with that, it's just not the type of product I'm looking for.

I'll take a look. It's probably too complicated though. (Needs to be
something a 4 year old can play with and not break.)
