It still disturbs me that you have to use a non-standard table type to support transactions, plus the hijinks that will occur when you attempt to perform a transaction that involves changes to transactional and non-transactional tables... "If you do a ROLLBACK when you have updated a non-transactional table you will get an error (ER_WARNING_NOT_COMPLETE_ROLLBACK) as a warning. All transactional safe tables will be restored but any non-transactional table will not change." Chris
