Does MySQL support transactions yet?  If not, it fails.

The response to this from the MySQL developers has traditionally been
"do it in your own software".  Thing is, I'm not a database developer
and the people who are do this kinda shit MUCH more effectively than
me.  I'd rather trust a database to look after my data (isn't that the
point?) than my own bodgy code.
