    That hit the nail right on the head.  That was the same thing I
was going to suggest, Martin.  I think people tend to forget that
MySQL has the ability to handle a lot of stuff inside its own engine.
The only problem is the potential performance degradation --- if it's
an issue, translating that to PHP (which is the language in which
Jason is doing his code) isn't a problem.

    In any case, your answer is the one I would consider correct for
the OP's question.
