Looks like Oracle decided to charge money for those who wants to use InnoDB with MySQL. InnoDB offers features like transaction control, not found in the “classic” version of MySQL. Read more here and here.
Need Transactions, Stored Procedures, Triggers, etc. and don’t wanna to pay? GO FIREBIRD!
Update: As pointed by some of our readers, InnoDB is still offered for free in the MySQL “Community” edition.

asked about the ldap extension)
5.3.4 should have it. There are other missing extensions but some of
them will never be restored (like *spell for example). Firebird was
the last one actually missing and should be back in 5.3.4.

Remember the challenge I did some time ago with .NET provider for Firebird and MonoTouch? Well because I’ve got access to previews of MonoDroid, why not to try the same here?

One example is a php application waiting for desktop app (administration tool) to finish the transaction
When I try to update a record that’s edited in a desktop app or IBexpert, and there is a deadlock, ibase_execute just hangs, does not return any value nor raises an exception.
