Maybe they lost the development of the know how for the only transaction
safe table type of the current mysql releases, but they still "own" the
former Adabas/MaxDB/SAP-DB code with transaction safe tables. Probably they
force the "union" of mysql and SAP-DB code base to keep their transaction
competence, but this are just my €0,02...
They do not "own" MaxDB. They license it, just like Innodb.
Damn, do they ever have alot of "loose ends" ... what part, exactly,
constitutes "MySQL" vs third party add ons? :)
