That, unfortunately, is totally untrue if there's the possibility of more
than one person manipulating data at one time on tables.
The "old fashioned way" of locking all involved tables for read & write,
trying to perform a sequence of operations and undoing the operations if
there's a failure anywhere - is effectively a single-threaded transaction.
Until fairly recently that was the only way of doing transactions in MySQL.
Re: innodb - I tried setting up a 5 Gb database and gave up after 5 hours of
innodb initializing the db disk. Went back to the MySQL defaults. YMMV.
