The future looks very bright for InnoDB. It is faster and scales better than BDB, and it uses more granular locks. > Both maintain log files to do rollbacks. Is this how PGSQL does this > too? InnoDB uses a mult-versioning scheme, which is what PostreSQL does. So in that respect they're quite similar. > How do these tables compare to dbs with "native" transaction support > (like Oracle, MSSQL, and PostgreSQL) ? InnoDB was largely modeled after Oracle.
