Hi folks,
Can someone please point me in the right direction to let me know how to

come across it in the manual yet, but am sure it must be there somewhere.
Many thanks in advance,

Has anyone ever bothered to make a front-end API to MySQL that does maintain
referential integrity and/or allow function calls on events? It might make
an interesting library to write for RDBMS migrators ...
