Will Access database engine handle this?

ACID transactions have been in MySQL for many years. MySQL 5.0 has stored procedures and views.

Only if you used the InnoDB table format, which AFAIK isn't the default. And InnoDB has some odd restrictions like no FULLTEXT indexes, AUTO_INCREMENT may reuse old values for new rows once you restart the daemon, 'show table status' doesn't give accurate statistics, 'load table from master' for replication doesn't work.

And MySQL 5 is still in beta, so IMO that doesn't count yet.

For the most part, I agree with you. I don't like mysql. But I also don't have a problem with all the people who like it and find it useful. It's nobody's business but theirs if they need these features. Frankly, I'd take you a lot more seriously if you were a developer and had run into these limitations while trying to actually do something useful, instead of simply researching oddities.

Now I guess this argument will continue with no one giving way until you misquote some silly slogan. Please do so and then we can stop crapping on EagleKeeper's thread.
