Referential integrity is good. No doubt about it. But the purchase of InnoDB by Oracle last year is worrying, if Drupal is going to have any kind of dependence on that storage engine. Of course Drupal should support all databases, but I would think twice about creating dependencies upon commercial-only software (if InnoDB became some kind of "standard" for modules...). saludos, Victor Kane http://awebfactory.com.ar On 1/19/07, Dries Buytaert <dries@buytaert.net> wrote:
Hello world,
Fact: Drupal 6 will finally drop support for MySQL 3.x.
The good news is that we can _finally_ start caring about referential integrity. As of MySQL 4, you can define foreign keys, and even though they don't actually work with MyISAM tables they would work with InnoDB tables.
