Does this question mean that there known, detectable data integrity (not
referential integrity) problems with MySQL?
Wondering because it seems an odd question to me and it could be a factor in a
descision, although the number of MySQL installations out there one would have
to there is no problem or all those web sites surely would be terribly unhappy.
[Note, I have no intention of starting a DB war this is a genuine interest from
a complete MySQL newbie who's got to look at it on a best tool for the project
basis.]
