Ulp. The whole point of the InnoDB engine is that it supports atomic transactions, even over crashes. If you want an unsafe table, there's the ISAM engine, which is faster.

What does "100% compatible to InnoDB" mean here? It's not functionally compatible and it's not disk-file-format compatible.

If that's your definition of atomicity - yes, upscaledb offers atomic operations. If you define atomicity as the "A" in "ACID" then no - BEGIN/COMMIT wrappers are not yet available. Work in progress!

So what you're saying is that in general, transactions are implemented, but the begin/commit syntax for transactions is not yet supported?

[cruppstahl]

Correct.

Well I think this is very cool. I actually have a project in mind that I think might benefit; I'll look to see if I can use Upscale.
