[Gllug] MySQL Woes

[Jackson, Harry]

I am trying to implement a database and thought that with all the hype MySQL
gets that I could do it on that. Much to my dismay I have just noticed that.

1. No method for referential Integrity.


Fair enough no referential integrity I'll use stored procedures to enforce
some kind of logic. No wait 

2. No Stored Procedures

Has anybody else been flummoxed by this. Writing application code to enforce
all the referential integrity of a database is a bit of a half arsed way of
going about things. I notice that there is a Perl implementation, great,
bolt on integrity.
