But eh, what are those gripes about transactions and locking? Are you aware that the MySQL server with the InnoDB table handler (since over a year now!) features full transactional capabilities including row level locking? You just need to grab a 3.23-Max version, or compile 3.23 from source, or any 4.0 version. For more info on the InnoDB table handler, see http://www.mysql.com/doc/I/n/InnoDB.html in the online manual. Views are on the TODO for around version 4.1.
