Wanna transaction in MySQL? Ok, pay now, or go to Firebird.
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.

This seems to be inaccurate. On the site, you can see that it doesn’t include MySQL Community Edition. The Classic Edition seems to be an embedded version of MySQL:

Community Edition still has InnoDB:

You may be right. I found it a bit confusing… but what can we expect from something that uses a dual license scheme? 🙂
Also the administration tool is not included in the classic edition at least we have
Firebird + Flamerobin + Transactions in the default bundle 😛
I think this is meslead.
MySQL Community Edition still support InnoDB. And MySQL Administrator is replaced by MySQL Workbench.

Please correct this mislead for all MySQL community users.
