Not sure about the referential integrity but it does have transactions and subselects are coming in 4.1. (Currently 4.0.14) "MySQL Server (version 3.23-max and all versions 4.0 and above) supports transactions with the InnoDB and BDB Transactional storage engines. InnoDB provides full ACID compliance" [0] Andy [0] http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/ANSI_diff_Transactions.html
